Step-by-step explanation:

29/12 = 2 5/12
Just do what is says to do i can answer it for u but im not sure if it will be correct
i have did this problem before tho
The best way to approach this problem is to find out how much fell in week. As you know what two weeks is, you simply have to halve this, giving you that one week is 5 inches of rain. One you have this, you can multiply this by 4 (as this will give you 4 weeks, or 28 days), and this gives you 20 inches in 28 days. You should then find the odd three days. If you divide 5 by 7, this will give you the rain fall in one day. 5/7= 0.8 inches per day. You then have top multiply this by 3 (as you've got three odd days), and this gives you 2.4. You then have to add together 2.4 and 20, giving you 22.4
Therefore, if the rain continued to fall at the same rate for 31 days, it would receive 22.4 inches of rain.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
