Teachers often all this problem a donut problem because it’s like the donut hole getting cut out of the middle. The way that you solve this is to find the area of the whole yard and subtract the area of the fountain. Since they are rectangles we’re going to use A = LW
Area of yard - Area of fountain
A = (8x)(9x) - (2x)(5x)
A = 72 x^2. - 10 x^2
A 62 x^2

Answer:

Area of rectangle(A) is given by:

A = lw

where,

l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle

As per the statement:

a family is building a rectangular fountain in the backyard. the yard is rectangular and measures 8x by 9x

⇒\text{Area of yard} = 8x \cdot 9x = 72x^2

It is also given that:

The fountain is going to measure 2x by 5x.

\text{Area of fountain} = 2x \cdot 5x = 10x^2

We have to find the area of the remaining yard.

\text{Remaining area of yard} = \text{Area of yard} -\text{Area of the fountain built}

⇒\text{Remaining area of yard} = 72x^2-10x^2 = 62x^2 [Combine like term]

Therefore, the area of the remaining yard is, 62x^2

The ratio of Mike buying fish to Millie buying fish was 8 to 2. If in total they bought 150 pounds of fish. How many pounds did
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 8 to 2 then  8/10 will be the probability of Mike buying fist and 2/10 will be the probability of Millie buying fish.

Now multiply each fraction by the total number of pounds to find how many pounds each bought.

8/10 * 150 = 1200/10 = 120

2/10 * 150 = 300/10 = 30  

In this case, Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.
