Answer:

width = 3 1/4 yards

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: area = (length*width). given the area and the length, we can rearrange the formula: (area/length) = width, then, remplacing the values we got: 14\frac{1}{2} square yards / 4\frac{1}{3} yards = width, then, we rearrange the fraction as follows: 14\frac{1}{2}square yards= \frac{(14*12)+1}{2}=\frac{169}{12}square yards ; and 4\frac{1}{3} yards= \frac{(4*3)+1}{3}=\frac{13}{3} yards, then \frac{\frac{169}{12} }{\frac{13}{3} } yards= \frac{169*3}{12*13}yards = \frac{507}{156}yards, and finally we simplify \frac{\frac{507}{13} }{\frac{153}{13} } =\frac{\frac{39}{3} }{\frac{12}{3} } yards=3\frac{1}{4}yards

Convert this to improper fractions (14-1/2 sq yds = 169/12 sq yds) and (4-1/3 sq yds = 13/3 sq yds) divide 169/12 by 13/3 and you get 507/156 sq yds which is equal to 3-1/4 sq yds.

Answer:

The correct answer is Dispositional resistance

Explanation:

Dispositional resistance can be described in psychological terms as a tendency to avoid to resist or avoid changes in general, wheter is a behaviour or something external to the individual who tends to devalue change and finds it unnecesary or counterproductive. In Sam's case we can see that it's clearly a case of Dispositional resistence because he has worked for the company for 30 years, and he finds the change proposed by Susan as unnecesary and he is reluctant to the whole idea of changing his work methods, therefore we can clearly see what is described above and evidence a Dispositional resistance.

Discuss briefly the effects of not having good governance ​
mel-nik [20]

Simply put, governance is the exercise of control. Currently, it depends on the topic at hand. If we define it on a personal level, it means that a person is unable to regulate themselves.

But typically it pertains to governing a state (state means any organised territory). Now, while the idea of bad governance is straightforward, the causes that give rise to it are far too nuanced. Let's examine some of the underlying reasons now:

  • a lack of probity, integrity, and ethics.
  • corruption in the system is widespread. Favoritism, theft, bribery, and other forms of corruption are all examples of corruption.
  • Lack of technology because people are unwilling to adopt it.
  • hesitation in choosing an impartial Ombudsman.

People frequently avoid paying taxes to the government because they have little faith in its apparatus. This frequently results in the government spending less on development and adding to the strain on tax payers by giving them fewer resources to survive on. Only by educating the general community about ethical issues can this vicious cycle be broken.

A society's government can be viewed as a whole. A society's political environment would look the same if its mentality encouraged corruption.
