Answer:
2.52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.
Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2
x - 0.375 x = 4.2
0.625x = 4.2
x = 4.2 / 0.625
x = 6.72.
So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be x
Then length =x-4
Area=x(x-4)=140
x²-4x=140
x²-4x-140=0
x²-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x-14)(x+10)=0
Therefore,length=14 cm and width=10 cm
To find 10% you would just divide 200 by 10
=200/10
=20
hope this helped !
