I just checked and the right answer seems to be a) 5.5, I am truly sorry if it was incorrect but pls let me know if it was the right answer
So for this, you will be doing two different multiplications: 3 x 4 and √8 x √3.
3 x 4 = 12
√8 x √3 = √24
Now our result is 12√24, however, this can be simplified. Using the product rule of radicals (√ab = √a x √b), our simplification is such:
12√24 = 12√(8 x 3) = 12√(4 x 2 x 3) = 2 x 12√(2 x 3) = 24√6
In short, the answer is 24√6, or the first option.
If the time taken by 14 inches wide is one hour then the blade of 12 inches wide will take 1 hour 17 minutes to mow a lawn.
What is width?
The width of something is the measurement of one side of a body. It is generally less than length of that body or shape.
How to calculate time?
We have been given time of 1 hour if blade is 14 inches wide and we have to calculate time taken by 12 inches wide blade:
It will be as 14/12* 1 hour
=14/12
=1.167
=1.17 hour
Hence the time taken by the blade of 12 inches wide will be 1 hour and 17 minutes.
