Answer:

width is 6 ft, length is 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up 2 equations to help us solve this.  

Equation 1:  "The area is 144 square feet"  gives us

                 LW = 144  (area of a rectangle)

Equation 2:  "the width is 1\4 of the length" give us

                 W = L/4            

We can plug the second equation into the first equation...

  Since W = L/4, we get

     L(L/4) = 144      (W becomes L/4)

 

Now solve for L

 L²/4 = 144

 

     L² = 624    (multiply both sides by 4)

        L = 24 ft    (take the square root of each side)

Since L = 24, and W = L/4,

  W = 24/6,    so W = 6 ft

Tony has a hosepipe. The length of the hosepipe is 20 m. Tony stores the hosepipe on a reel. The weight of the reel is 1.4 kg. 1
harina [27]

Answer:

the total weight of the hosepipe and the reel is 7.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the weight of the hosepipe, we know that 1/2 metre of the hosepipe has a weight of 150 grams, therefore we can conclude that 1 meter has a weight of (150)(2) = 300 grams.

If one meter weighs 300 grams, then 20 meters have a weight of 20(300) = 6000 grams. But since 1000 grams are 1 kg, this would be equivalent to 6 kg.

Now, to find the total weight of the hosepipe and the reel we are going to sum up the 2 weights:

Total weight = hose pipe weight + reel weight

Total weight = 6 kg + 1.4 kg

Total weight = 7.4 kg.

Therefore, the total weight of the hosepipe and the reel is 7.4 kg
