If a it's by a whole number you just multiply it by the numerator
And if there are two mixed numbers you multiplyboth by the denominator
And the numerator
P = 2(L + W)
P = 120
W = 20
120 = 2(L + 20)
120 = 2L + 40
120 - 40 = 2L
80 = 2L
80/2 = L
40 = L
check..
120 = 2(40 + 20)
120 = 2(60)
120 = 120 (correct)
so the length of the garden (L) = 40 yds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rule: never completely trust a diagram that comes with a geometry question. This is a case in point. The "tiny" square is actually much larger than the "larger" square.
If you are trying to find the length of the sides of the squares, the formula is
Area = side^2
3025 = side^2
Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(3025) = sqrt(side^2)
To find the square root of 3025, do the following
Press √
type in 3025
type in =
You should get 55.
======================
The second square is done the same way
√
90.75
=
And you should get 9.526
Answer:
<em>Y alone can do the piece of work in 30 days.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Let's make:
N = days for Y to finish the work alone
Since X alone can do it in 15 days, each day he can do a proportion of 1/15 of the piece of work.
Since Y alone can (possibly) do it in N days, each day he can do 1/N parts of the work.
Together, they do

parts of the work per day. We know they can finish it in 10 days, thus:

Rearranging:

The LCM of 10 and 15 is 30, thus operating:

Solving for N:
N = 30
Y alone can do the piece of work in 30 days.
The word problem is based on division ratio so u have to divide by five so 100 divided by five is 20 meaning the collector has to sell 20 band posters.
