Answer:
Length 37 cm, width 25 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original dimensions be length x and width x - 12 cms.
The new dimensions will be length (x - 2) and width (x - 12 - 2) = x-14 cm.
So , from the areas, we have:
x(x - 12) - (x - 2)(x - 14) = 120
x^2 - 12x - (x^2 - 16x + 28) = 120
-12x + 16x - 28 = 120
4x = 148
x = 37 cms
So the length was 37 cm and the width was 37-12 = 25 cm.
Answer:
length=4 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1 3/4 + 2 1/2
- convert 2 1/2 into 2/4 since 2 is half of 4
- add the converted number and 1 3/4 fractions
- 2/4 and 3/4 added will make 1 1/4
- add 1 1/4, 2 and 1 and it will equal 4 1/4
Divide the volume by the two measures. 728 ÷ 8 = 91 ÷ 6.5 = 14 so, the shoe box is we inches long.
If you would like to know the average rate in miles per hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:
420 miles ... 210 minutes
x miles = ? ... 1 hour = 60 minutes
420 * 60 = 210 * x
x = 420 * 60 / 210
x = 120 miles
The correct result would be 120 miles per hour.
