Answer:
The answer to your question is width = 6 ft; length = 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Area = 144 ft²
width = w
length = l
The width is 1/4 of the length
Formula
Area = width x length = w x l
Length = 4 width l = 4w
Process
1.- Substitute length in the first equation
Area = w(4w)
Simplify
Area = 4w²
2.- Solve for w
w =
Substitution
w =
Simplification
w =
Result
w = 6 ft
3.- Find l
l = 4(6)
l = 24 ft
Answer:
<u>Do Keep Change Flip (KCF)</u>
Keep: 5/6
Change: ÷ into ×
Flip: 3/1 into 1/3
Your new problem should be: 5/6×1/3
<u>Multiply</u>
5/6×1/3=5/18
Answer:
Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Abel's share = A
Let Cedric's share = C
we are given the following
A + C = 180 - - - - - (1) (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)
(Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )
from equation 2:
putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)
A + (2A) = 180
3A = 180
∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60
to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60
C = 2A - - - - (3)
C = 2 × 60
C = 120
Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
