The rope is 1 and 1/3 long,1 is the same as saying 3/3,
this means that the rope is 3/3 + 1/3 long,so it is 4/3 foot long,
you now want to get half of this number so that each person has an equal length of rope,so multiply the length of rope by a half,
4/3 x 1/2 = 4/6 , which if simplified = 2/3, this means that each friend gets 2/3 foot of rope.

You can draw this in a diagram by drawing the 1 foot of rope, and then dividing it up into 3 sections. Then add the 1/3 foot of rope into the drawing. It should then be easy to see that altogether there are 4 separate sections of rope and that if each friend has two sections then they will be sharing equal amounts, so consequently each friend has two of the thirds of rope, 2/3

A homeowner wants to increase the size of a rectangular deck that now measures 14 feet by 22 feet. The building code allows for
Bumek [7]

Answer:

10.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 22ft

width= 14ft

Maximum area = 800 sq. ft

Let X be increase in the number of feet for the length and width.

The new length = (22 + x) ft

New width= (14 + x) ft

Area = (22+x)(14+x) ≤ 800

308 + 36x + x^2 ≤ 800

x^2 + 36x + 308 - 800 ≤ 0

x^2 + 36x - 492 ≤ 0

Solve using quadratic equation

x = (-b +/- √b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

a= 1, b = 36, c= 492

x = (-36 +/- √36^2 - 4*1*-492)/ 2*1

= (-36 +/- √1396 + 1968) / 2

= (-36 +/- √3264) / 2

= (-36 +/- 57.13) / 2

x = (-36 + 57.13)/2 or (-36 - 57.13)/2

x = 21.13/2 or -93.13/2

x = 10.6 or -31.0

x = 10.6 ft

The length and width must increase by 10.6 ft each
