The tax is 4%, do 1.36 divided by 34
Given:
Width of a garden = 10 feet
Length of the garden = 14 feet
Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.
To find:
The width of the walkway.
Solution:
A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.
Let x be the width of the walkway.
The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x
The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x
Area of a rectangle is
Area of garden and the walkway together is
Divide both sides by 4.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Using zero product property, we get
Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.
Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.
Solutions
1) <span>Add the whole numbers first ( 7 and 2 )
</span><span>9+<span>7/8</span>+<span>11/12
2) </span></span>Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of
<span><span>7 / 8</span>,<span>11 / 12
</span></span>
Start by Listing Multiples
List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
8 : <span><span>8,16,24</span>
</span>
12 : <span>12,24
</span>
Therefore, the LCD is <span>24
</span>Method 2: By Prime Factors
List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
8 : <span>2,2,2
</span>
12 : <span>2,2,3
</span>
Therefore, the LCD is <span>2×2×2×3=24
3) </span>Make the denominators the same as the LCD
<span>9+<span><span>7×3 / </span><span>8×3</span></span>+<span><span>11×2 / </span><span>12×2
</span></span></span>4) Simplify. Denominators are now the same
<span>9+<span>21 / 24</span>+<span>22 / 24
5) J</span></span>oin the denominators
<span>9+<span><span>21+22 / </span>24</span></span>
6) Simplify
<span>9+<span>43 / 24
7) </span></span>Convert 43 / 24 <span>to mixed fraction
</span><span>9+1 <span>19 / 24
8) </span></span>Simplify
<span><span>10 <span>19 / 24</span></span></span>
Let the amount of chocolate bars each child receives be x
X= 30/12
X=5/2
It would be :
-12 + 48
hope this helps you
