The length of rectangle is 31 yards and width is 24 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+7

Area of rectangle = 744 square yards

Area = Length * width

744=w(w+7)\\744=w^2+7w\\0=w^2+7w-744\\w^2+7w-744=0

Factorizing the equation

w^2+31w-24w-744=0\\w(w+31)-24(w+31)=0\\(w+31)(w-24)=0

Either,

w+31=0,    =>w= -31

Or,

w-24=0     =>w=24

As width cannot be negative, therefore,

Width = 24 yards

Length = w+7 = 24+7 = 31 yards

The length of rectangle is 31 yards and width is 24 yards.

Keywords: area, rectangle

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 fruits, 3 of which are apples.

The probability that the first selection is an apple is 3/10.

There are now 9 fruits remaining, 2 of which are apples.  So the probability that the second fruit is an apple is 2/9.

The total probability is (3/10) (2/9) = 1/15.

wolverine [178]

The required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.

Given that,
The ratio of yellow and blue colors is 2:3
The proportion of the yellow color is 12 liters.
The proportion of blue color is to be determined.

<h3>What is the Ratio?</h3>

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

Let the proportion of the blue color is x,
Now, the ratio can be given as
12 / x = 2 / 3
x = 12 * 3 / 2
x = 18

Thus, the required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.
