Given:
The equation for the area of the first option is:
Where x is the side length of the current square park.
To find:
The side length of the current square park.
Solution:
We have,
It can be written as:
Splitting the middle term, we get
We know that the side length of a park cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 320.
Therefore, the most direct method to solve the given equation is splitting the middle term and the side length of the current square park is 320 meters.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of people = y = 39x+50
Total amount spent y = 518
Solution:
The equation for the number of people who attended the dinner
y = 39x+50
The cost of dinner is equally divided by number of people =
then, 518 = y
placing value, 518 = 39x+50
x = (518-50)/39
= 468/39
= 12
Then number of people attended the dinner = 12
What you do, to convert a percention to a fraction is to divide the percent by 100. This will give you the fraction of that percent. Knowing this, you can eliminate all the other possible answers that have been listed.
Answer: 9/40
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So here, 22.5% can be written as the ratio 22.5 to 100 or 22.5/100.
Notice however that 22.5/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of 22.5 by 10 in order to remove the decimal point. When we do this, we will end up with the fraction 225/1000.
The fraction 225/1000 can be written in lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25 and we get the fraction 9/40.
Therefore, 22.5% can be written as the fraction 9/40.
Answer:
<u>The rate the swimming pool is filled is 9 gallons of water per minute</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's review the information provided by Ronald to us to help him to find the answer to the question:
Time it takes to fill the swimming pool = 8 minutes
Amount of water the swimming pool can hold = 72 gallons
2. At what rate does the swimming pool fill, in gallons per minute?
Rate the swimming pool is filled = Amount of water the swimming pool can hold /Time it takes to fill the swimming pool
Replacing with the real values, we have:
Rate the swimming pool is filled = 72/8 = 9 gallons of water per minute
