Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.
First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.
"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"
To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.
Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".
So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.
To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.
So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.
Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.
So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x
To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x
We are now left with:
x = 3.75
Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x=90
2x=90 ,x=45 ,∆BAD=45
I will give you everything I can do:
11)
Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.
Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.
Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.
Since R*T=D
Then 3(2x+2)=270
So 2x+2=90
2x=88
x=44
12)
To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.
Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.
First find b.
5=3/2*4+b
b = -1
So the equation of this line is:
y=3/2x-1
13) All work will be shown below.
6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)
6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)
12+12x=2(3x-5)
12+12x=6x-10
6x=-2
x = -1/3
14)
First we must find the amount each train traveled.
The speed of F train(Freight train)=x
The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6
Their combined speed is 2x+6
It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles
So 2(2x+6)=100
2x+6=50
2x=44
x=22
So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.
To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.
44/2 and 56/2
Which are 22 and 28.
The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.
15) Again opposite reciprocal.
3/5 -> -5/3
Work:
-4=-3*-5/3+b
-4=5+b
b=-9
y = -5/3x-9
16)
F=kx-kx0
First kx0 = 0
So F=kx
So x=F/k
