Let n be the first page, and n+1 be the second. Then:
n(n+1)=272
n²+n-272=0
(n+17)(n-16)=0
n=16 or -17
If the first page is page 16, then the next is page 17

This is my last question by the way

Part A:

There are 25 blocks for the length, and the length of each is 5.5 inches. 5.5x25=137.5

There are 9 blocks for the height, and each is 2.75 inches. 2.75x9=24.75

Since we're trying to find how much longer the length is to the width, we find the difference. 137.5-24.75=112.75

So part A answer is 112.75 (or 112¾)

Part B:

We know the length is 137.5 and the height is 24.75. To find how many times longer the length is, we need to divide to see how many 24.75 can go into 137.5.

137.5÷24.75=5.55

So the answer to part B is 5.55. Given the context, the answer would probably be 5, because that's how many entire height can fit.

Sorry if it's wrong lol
