Formula for Area of a rectangle :

\boxed {\boxed {\text {Area of a rectangle = Length x Width}}}

\text {Given that the area is }8 \dfrac{3}{4}\ \ ft^2 \text { and the length is } 3 \dfrac{1}{2} \ ft,

8 \dfrac{3}{4} = 3 \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{ width}

<u>Find width:</u>
\text{ width} = 8 \dfrac{3}{4} \div 3 \dfrac{1}{2}

<u>Change to improper fraction:</u>
\text{ width} = \dfrac{35}{4} \div \dfrac{7}{2}

<u>Change divide fraction to multiplication fraction:</u>
\text{ width} = \dfrac{35}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{7}

<u>Multiply them:</u>
\text{ width} = \dfrac{5}{2}

<u>Simplify to mixed number:</u>
\text{ width} = 2\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ ft}

\boxed {\boxed {\text {Answer : Width =  } 2\dfrac{1}{2} \text {ft. } }}

Please help me with question 4!
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

I think that there might be some complex differential equation

stuff going on here if this were in the real world, but for the sake of this problem... may I suggest that the tank is filling up  at a rate of

1/8 of a tank per hour...

it is evaporating at a rate of 1/12 tank per hour

you can subtract the rates

1/8 - 1/12 = 12/96- 8/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 tank/hr

so to fill the tank it should take 32 hours...

I think the logic and math work... lets see if someone else will verify this analysis?
