Well every time it gets rid of a shell it grows 1 1/3 times larger. So so to see how much it grows after the first time you say
1 cm * 1 1/3 = 1 1/3 cm

to get the next one you do the same
1 1/3 cm * 1 1/3 cm = 16/9

It will keep going multiplying by 1 1/3. So so we can say in an equation that the
(initial size) * 1 1/3 *(number of shells) = length

Or 1cm * 1 1/3 * n = L

We we know the final length is 10cm

So 1 1/3 * n = 10cm

n = 7.5shells

so approximately 7 or 8 shells

Answer:

Width = (x + 8) inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  area of the quilt is the length times the width and if we know the area and the length we can find the width by area / length.

Area = x^2 + 18x + 80 = (x + 10)(x + 8) - now we know that the length is (x + 10) so the width must be (x + 8) inches.

Let me know if you require more explanation.
