The width of the rectangle is
unit
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
- A rectangles width is 4 less than its area
- Its length is 19 units
We need to find the width of the rectangle
Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units
∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width
∵ The width of the rectangle = x units
∵ The length of the rectangle = 19 units
∴ The area of the square = 19 × x = 19 x units²
∵ The width of the rectangle is 4 less than its area
- That means subtract 4 from the area to find the width
∴ x = 19 x - 4
- Subtract 19 x from both sides
∴ -18 x = -4
- Divide both sides by -18
∴ x = 
- Reduce the fraction by dividing up and down by -2
∴ x =

Answer:
25% percent
Step-by-step explanation:
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
The first pipe fills 1/8 of a pool in one hr.
The second pipe fills 1/4 of a pool in one hr.
(1/8+1/4)2= 3/4 done by the first two pipes in 2 hours.
Therefore the last pipe must do 1 1/4 of the filling in 2 hours, which is 5/8 per hour.
5/8x=1
x=8/5
It takes the third pipe 1 hour and 36 minutes to fill it by itself.
