Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.

How many gallons of water will be in the fish tank after 3 minutes? how can you explain your answer
Lera25 [3.4K]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

If in 0.5 min the tank gets 0.8 gallons of the water then

how many gallons will be in 1 min ?

how many gallons will be in 3 min?

and how long it takes for 40 gallons?

Answer:

1.6 gallons

4.8 gallons

25 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with proportion.

If it takes 0.5 mins for the tank to get 0.8 gallons

in 1 minute the tank will get 0.8 * 1/0.5 = 1.6 gallons

In 3 minutes the tank will get 3 * 1.6 gallons = 4.8 gallons

if it takes 1 min to get 1.6 gallons

it will take x mins to get 40 gallons

x = 1 * 40/1.6 = 25 mins

Jesse has 5 and 3/4 dozen eggs. How many eggs does he have.
Leviafan [203]
Ok so lets start with the 5 dozen there are 12 eggs in one dozen so we do 12*5 which gives us 60 and then we figure out what 3/4 of 12 is that sounds confusing the way i typed it. an example is make four piles each evenly numbered so four piles of three so take three of those piles which gives you the number nine so 60 + 9 gives you 69 so Jesse has 69 eggs.
