Riley rakes 1/6 of a lawn in 2/3 hour. How many lawns can Riley rake per hour?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Riley rakes 1/4 of the lawns per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Riley rakes 1/6 of a lawn in 2/3 hour.

We need to find how many lawns can Riley rake per hour.

In 2/3 hour Riley rakes 1/6 of a lawn

In 1 hour Riley rakes $\dfrac{1}{6}\times \dfrac{3}{2}=0.25$ = 1/4 of a lawn.

Hence, Riley rakes 1/4 of the lawns per hour.

Hello, happy Friday, I am just here with some geometry questions.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So far, we know that:

∠D = ∠J.

And that:

DE:JK = 14:7 = 2:1

So, to prove that ΔDEF ~ ΔJKL by SAS, DF must be similar to JL, as those are the sides between the angle.

So:

DF:JL = 2:1.

Our answer is B.

Arif's backyard is 22 by 36 meters. He wants to put a flower garden in the middle of the backyard, leaving a strip of grass of u

KIM [24]

Answer:

Paso 1:

Encuentra el área del patio trasero

Dado eso, el patio trasero mide 24 por 30 metros.

Área = largo x ancho

Área = 24 x 30 = 720

Por lo tanto, el área del patio trasero es de 720 metros cuadrados.

Paso 2:

Dado que el área de césped = 368 metros cuadrados

Luego, área de jardín = área de patio trasero - área de césped

área del jardín = 720 - 368

área de jardín = 352 metros cuadrados

Paso 3:

Encuentra las dimensiones del jardín

Sea "x" el ancho de la franja de césped

Entonces, las dimensiones del jardín son:

Longitud del jardín = 24 - 2x

Ancho del jardín = 30 - 2x

Luego,

área del jardín = (24 - 2x) (30 - 2x)

Factoriza el lado izquierdo

(x - 23) (x - 4) = 0

Por propiedad de factor cero,

x = 23 o x = 4

La solución x = 23 hace que las dimensiones del jardín sean negativas, por lo que la rechazamos
