If you count the number of boxes across, you can see that it is 6 units wide.
Count the number of boxes down, you see that it is 5 units in length.
Multiply these two dimensions (because the formula for the area of a rectangular is length*width)
6 x 5 = 30
So the area of this shape is 30 units² :)
Answer:
x = (10 - b) / a
Step-by-step explanation:
ax + b = 10
ax = 10 - b
x = (10 - b) / a
Considering that 34% of the total quantity of water was used to water the plants we can get to the solution of the problem.
Total quantity of water in the barrel = 1513 liters
Percent of water used for watering the plants = 34%
Then
Quantity of water used to water the plants = (34/100) * 1513
= 514.42 liters
So 514.42 liters of water was used from the barrel to water the plants.
Quantity of water left in the barrel = 1513 - 514.42 liters
= 998.58 liters
So the quantity of water that is left in the barrel after watering the plants is 998.58 liters.
If you have said in the question that 3/4 of the total quantity of water was used for watering the plants, then the solutions would be as given below
Quantity of water used for watering the plants = (3/4) * 1513 liters
= 1134.75 liters
Amount of water left in the barrel after watering the plants = 1513 - 1134.75 liters
= 378.25 liters.
