A square has equal width and length. To find the area, you have to multiply the width by length but because they are the same length, you may some time see the formula written as L*L or $L^{2}$ .

The area of used up by the squares is 150sq feet. I found this by dividing 600 by 4. You can find an estimate by equating 150 the L*L. This gives you an approximate value of 12.

One number is 4 times as large another. The sum of their reciprocals is 45/4. Find the two numbers

Reptile [31]

Let,
the numbers be "x" and "y"
According to the question,
x = 4y ......................................................equation (1)

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y}= \frac{45}{4}$ ...................................equation (2)

Taking equation (2)
$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y}= \frac{45}{4}$

Substituting the value of "x" from equation (1), we get,

$\frac{1}{(4y)} + \frac{1}{y}= \frac{45}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4y} + \frac{1}{y}* \frac{4}{4} = \frac{45}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4y} + \frac{4}{4y}= \frac{45}{4}$

$\frac{1+4}{4y} = \frac{45}{4}$

$\frac{5}{4y} = \frac{45}{4}$

Cross multiplying, we get,

$5*4 = 45*4y$

$20 = 180y$
<u />
$\frac{20}{180} = y$

$\frac{1}{9} = y$

$y = \frac{1}{9}$

Now,
Taking equation (1)
x = 4y
Substituting the value of "y", we get

$x = 4( \frac{1}{9} )$

$x= \frac{4}{9}$

So, the numbers are $\frac{1}{9}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$
