Answer:
28 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle is 7-0 = 7 units high and 6-2 = 4 units wide. Its area is the product of these dimensions:
A = LW
A = (7)(4) = 28 . . . square units
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
