Answer:
Square with side length 25/4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is always going to be largest for a rectangle when the two dimensions are equal. You are looking for a square. What square has perimeter 25? 4s=25 so the side length of this rectangle (Square) is 25/4 m.
So,
One tenth of 24 is the same as this:
Multiply
In total there will be 688 milliliters of compound used 258 from compound B and 430 milliliters of compound A so 688 in total.
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
