Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple ways to solve this. One would be by finding the least common denominator for each one with 2/3, subtracting, and seeing what is left over. Another way is converting to decimals.

2/3=0.666666

————————-

7/8=0.875

8/9=0.88888

4/5=0.8

5/7=0.7143

They are all greater than 2/3 (0.6666666), but 5/7 is the closest, so would have the least waste.

the length of a rectangle is 3 cm longer than it’d width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 38, find it’s area.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

88 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

l = x + 3

P = 38

We know that $P=2l+2w$ , so we substitute known values:

$P=2l+2w\\38=2(x+3)+{2(x)}\\38=2x+6+2x\\38=4x+6\\32=4x\\8=x$

Therefore, we know that the width (x) is 8 cm and the length (x + 3) is 8 + 3 = 11 cm. To verify, we can check that the perimeter equals 38:

8 + 11 + 8 + 11 = 38. <em>Check.</em>

Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

$A=l\times{w}\\A=11\times{8}\\A=88$

Therefore, the area is 88 cm².

An integer is 3 less than 5 times together. If the product of the two integers is 36, then find the integers

saw5 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

An integer is 3 less than 5 times another. If the product of the two integers is 36, then the integers are: 3 and 12. Solution: x * (5x 3) 36; 5x2 - 3x = 36; 5x2 -3x 36 = 0; (5x + 12)(x - 3) = 0; x = -12/5 or x =3.
