Joe wants to enlarge the rectangular pumpkin patch located on his farm. The pumpkin patch is currently 40 meters wide and 60 met
ers long. The new pumpkin patch will be 3x meters wider and 5x meters longer than that of the original pumpkin patch. Which of the following functions will give the area of the new pumpkin patch in square meters?
1 answer:
Answer:
The diagram is shown below for reference.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the length and width of old pumpkin patch as meters and
meters respectively.
It further says length is increased by meters and width increased by
meters.
So the length of the new pumpkin patch would be meters.
And the width would be meters.
We know area of a rectangular shape
So, plugging the above values, we get the area of the new pumpkin patch as:
on rearranging.
Thus the function of the area of the new pumpkin patch would be:

The quotient for the given mixed fraction is 1.9318
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that the whole number is multiplied with the denominator and add with it the numerator while the denominator does not change. To convert this fraction we multiply 4 with 4 and then add 1 and keep the 4 as the fraction's denominator so we get
. Similarly, we get the improper fraction
for converting the mixed fraction
.
Step 2; After conversion, it's just a matter of division. The fraction equals 4.25 while the denominator
equals 2.2. Dividing 4.25 by 2.2 we get 1.9318.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average cost for the training session provided he is a sports trainer can be computed as follows:
Let's assume that;
average cost = C(x)
the no. of session = x
Then:
Now, suppose the trainer wants the average cost C(x) to drop below $16;
Then, we have the following function:
By cross multiply:
120 + 15x ≤ 16x
120 ≤ 16x - 15x
120 ≤ x
Therefore, the required no. of session, if the average cost should drop below $16, is 120.
