Hi!


So we need to know how many times 6 goes into 21.


6, 12, 18, 24

6 doesn't go into 21 evenly, so Johnny will have to pick between buying 18 pencils, or 24 pencils.


If Johnny buys 3 packages, 3 students won't have any pencils. Which means Johnny has to buy 4 packages.


Hope this helps! :)

A flowerbed is to be 3m longer than its width.the flowerbed will have an area of 70m²​
melomori [17]
ANSWER
Yes, it is a quadratic equation which is x² + 3x - 70 = 0

SOLUTION

Area = Length × Width
Let x be the Length, L = x
Length is 3 cm longer than its width, thus, W = x + 3
The Area is equal to 70m², thus, A = 70m²

In Mathematical representation,
A = L × W
70 = (x)(x + 3)
70 = x(x) + x(3)
70 = x² + 3x
0 = x² + 3x - 70

Sophina bought 3 yards of trim to put around a rectangular scarf. She wants the width of the scarf to be a whole number that is
Rudiy27
3 yards = 36*3 = 108 inches
-> total of width and length = 108/2 = 54 inches, because perimeter = 2*total of length and width.

=> length + width = 54 inches
and 6 ≤ width <span>≤ 12
=> all possible dimensions are:
6x48
7x47
8x46
9x45
10x44
11x43
12x42</span>
