Answer:

We have to divide 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches or 2.25 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other

We can write this statement as :

(a) x+(x-2.25)=5

Solving this we get

2x=5+2.25

2x=7.25

x = 3.625 inches

And the other part will be = 5-3.625=1.375 inches

(b) As we have x+y=5

We have to find two parts where one is 3 times the other. This means we have to find x=3y

So, we have 3y+y=5

4y=5

y = 1.25 inches

Other part x is 5-1.25=3.75 inches

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

23 is less than 25 which means it's closer to 20, so you would round it down to 20. 1.75 is over 0.50, 1/2, so you would round it up to 2. If you multiply 2 and 20 you would get 40.

Number two gets the same explanation just with different numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of the composite has a length of 6 and the other side has a length of 8.

If we add these two numbers, we'll get the missing side length of the rectangle

6 + 8 = 14 cm
