2/3 is basically 0.6666666667 which is the same as 66% so any percentage bigger than 66% such as 75% (0.75) which is 3/4 (as a fraction) is bigger than 2/3
Answer: The length of the rectangle is 35 in.
The width of the rectangle is 28 in.

The formula for the area, "A", of a rectangle:
Area (A) = length (L) * width (w) ;
that is: " A = L * w " ;
A = 980 in² (given);
ratio of the length to the width is: " 5 : 4 " (given);
→ Find the length (L) and the width (w).
_________________________________________________________
→ 980 in² = (5x) * (4x) ;
in which: " 980 in² " is the area of the triangle;
" 5x" = the length (L) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve;
" 4x" = the width (w) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve.
_______________________________________________________
If we find solve for "x" ; we can solve for "5x" and "4x" (the "length" and the "width", respectively); by plugging in the solved value for "x" ;
_______________________________________________________
→ 980 in² = (5x) * (4x) ;
↔ (5x) * (4x) = 980 in² ;
→ (5x) * (4x) = (5) * (4) * (x) * (x) = 20 * x² = 20x² ;
→ 20x² = 980 ;
Divide each side by "10" ; by canceling out a "0" on each side of the equation:
→ 2x² = 98 ;
Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ;
→ 2x² / 2 = 98 / 2 ;
to get:
→ x² = 49 ;
Now, take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; (since a "length or width" cannot be a "negative value") ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ ⁺√(x²) = √49 ;
to get:
→ x = 7 ;
______________________________________________________
Now, we can solve for the "length" and the "width" ;
→ The length is: "5x" ;
5x = 5(7) = " 35 in " ;
______________________________________________________
→ The width is: "4x" ;
4x = 4(7) = "28 in."
______________________________________________________
Let us check our answer:
→ A = L * w ;
→ 980 in² = ? 35 in. * 28 in. ?? ;
Using a calculator: "35 * 28 = 980" . Yes! ;

{ Also note: " in * in = in² " ? Yes! } .

Answer:
The speed and time are directly proportional in that the higher the speed the lesser the time and vice versa.
The constant is the total distance which is 180 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
The distance between the two cities is 180km
1.The distance was covered by a car at the rate of 50km/h
The time taken will be
velocity= distance/time
time= distance/velocity
time= 180/50
time= 3.6 hours
2.The distance was covered by a bus 45km/h
The time taken will be
velocity= distance/time
time= distance/velocity
time= 180/45
time= 4 hours
3.The distance was covered by a bicycle at 25km/h
The time taken will be
velocity= distance/time
time= distance/velocity
time= 180/25
time= 7.2 hours
Sometimes I’m pretty sure
