What might a model for 3 x 3/5 look like? How many fifths would be shaded in all?

1 answer:

8 0

Best not to use "x" to denote multiplication. "x" is usually a variable name in algebra.

3 times 3/5 comes out to 9/5, which is equivalent to 1 4/5.

You'd need to draw not one but two circles and divide each circle into 5 equal "slices." Then you'd shade one circle completely and shade 4 of the 5 slices of the other circle. 9 fifths (9 slices) would be shaded in all.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A contractor has 34 meters of fencing that he is going to use as the perimeter of a rectangular garden.

snow_tiger [21]

Given

Shape of garden: Rectangle

Perimeter: 34 meters

Area: 72 square meters

Length of one side = x

Required

Find the dimension of the rectangle

Let the length of the other side of the rectangle be represented with y.

We start by writing out the perimeter of a rectangle

Perimeter, P = 2(L + B)

Where P is the perimeter; L and B are the length and width of the sides of the rectangle.

In this case L and B are represented by x and y

So,

P = 2(x + y)

By substituting 34 for P

34 = 2(x + y)

Multiply both sides by ½

½ * 34 = ½ * 2(x + y)

17 = x + y

Make y the subject of formula

y = 17 - x

Recall that the sides of the rectangle are represented by x and y.

Hence, the area of the rectangle is as follows.

Area = x * y

Substitute 72 for Area and 17 - x for y

72 = x(17 - x) --- Open bracket

72 = 17x - x² ---- Reorder

x² - 17x + 72 = 0

Now, we have a quadratic equation

Solving by factorisation

x² - 8x - 9x + 72 = 0

x(x - 8) - 9(x - 8) = 0

(x - 8)(x - 9) = 0

x - 8 = 0 or x - 9 = 0

x = 8 or x = 9

Recall that

y = 17 - x.

When x = 8

y = 17 - 8

y = 9

When x = 9

y = 17 - 9

y = 8

Writing out the result, we have

x = 8 , y = 9

x = 9, y = 8

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 8 metres by 9 metres

Hi:) I need help with part 9(ii) ? Thanks :)!

Goshia [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2BD = 7BT , then

2(d - b ) = 7(t - b) ← distribute both sides

2d - 2b = 7t - 7b ( add 7b to both sides )

2d + 5b = 7t, thus

2 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}10.5\\10\\\end{array}\right]$ + 5 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\3\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\20\\\end{array}\right]$ + $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\15\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\35\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t , thus

t = $\frac{1}{7}$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\35\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\5\\\end{array}\right]$

Hence T = (3, 5 )

A rectangle has an area of 99 square in. What is the length of the long side?

OLga [1]

Answer:

The longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Area = 99$

Required

The length of the longer side

Area of a rectangle is:

$Area = Length * Width$

List out all possible products that give 99 [Assume the dimension are whole numbers]

$Length * Width = 99 * 1 = 99$

$Length * Width = 33 * 3 = 99$

$Length * Width = 11 * 9 = 99$

List out the longer factors

$L = \{99, 33, 11\}$

<em>Hence, the longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches</em>
