The longer side of room B would be 2(12)-4 or 20. Then you would need to set up a proportion to find the shorter side of room B. (12/16)=(x/20) Cross multiply and you get 15. Room A is 12 x 16 and room B is 15 x 20

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?
Fantom [35]
The correct option is B): "<span>Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer.</span><span>"
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."
 
Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2. So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.

Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2' thus x + (x+2) = 28
 
therefore, x + x + 2 = 28 now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore, 2x = 26 now dividing throughout by 2 we get:

x = 13 therefore, x + 2 = 13+2
                                    = 15
 
therefore, the numbers are 13 AND 15</span>

RSB [31]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity, let use assume there are 100 students in the school.

No. of students to complete college = (30/100) x 100 = 30 Students

President wants to increase by 50% = (50/100) x 30 = 15 Students

New set goal = 30 + 15 = 45 students.

Therefore;

Rate goal % = (45/100) x 100% = 45%
