Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: The other side has a length of 8
Discussion:
Area of a rectangle = l * w ( length times width). In our case
Area = 144 = l * w = 18 * w =>
18 w = 144 =>
w = 144/18 = 8
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
first, u need to know the formula for compound interest, which is:

where A is the final amount
P- initial amount
r- percent compounded(interest)
and
n- number of years
so
we have

3.8/100 = 0.038
1+0.038 =1.038
1.038^4 = 1.160885573136
475 * 1.160885573136 = 551.4206472396
approximately $551.42
The answer is 12.
Steps
If that number is x
(3+x)/(8+x)=3/4
"Cross multply"
4(3+x)=3(8+x)
12+4x=24+3x
x=12
To check: add 12 to 3 and 8. 3+12=15 and 8+12=20. 15/20=3/4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play.
Let x represent the number of yards of fabric that she has
Let y represent the total number of costumes that she can make from x yards of fabric.
Since one costume require 4/5 yards of fabric, y costumes will require
x ÷ 4/5 = x×5/4 = 5x/4
The equation will be
y = 5x/4
to find how many costumes she can make with 8 yards of fabric, it becomes
y = (5×8)/4
y = 40/4 = 10
