Given: A= 14 ft²  and  l= 2w-3 
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify: 
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2 
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft

Select two ratios that are equivalent to 27:927:927, colon, 9. Choose 2 answers: Choose 2 answers: (Choice A) A 3:13:13, colon,
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

A. Ratio = 3:1

B. Ratio= 9:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio= 27:9

Required

Determine equivalent ratios:

Ratio= 27:9

First, we simplify the ratio to the least possible

Ratio = 27/9:9/9

Ratio = 3:1

By comparison with the given options, we have A and B as answer.

See Proof Below

Proof: A

Compare this to the simplified ratio (given), we have:

Ratio = 3:1 = Ratio = 3:1

Proof B

Ratio= 9:3

Simplify the ratio to the least possible

Ratio= 9/3:3/3

Ratio= 3:1

Compare this to the simplified ratio (given), we have:

Ratio = 3:1 = Ratio = 3:1

Jill has a swimming pool in her backyard. It is shaped like a rectangle and measures approximately 16.3 feet wide and 26.2 feet
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The dimensions of swimming pool are:

Length = 26.2 feet

Width = 16.3 feet

Height = 5 feet

During a few hot weeks during the summer, some water evaporates from the pool, and Jill needs to add 8 inches of water to the depth of the pool.

We will convert 8 inches o feet.

1 inch = 1/12 feet

So, 8 inch = 8/12=0.66 feet

Now we have to tell how much water will be there in 0.66 feet depth.

So, volume = 16.3\times26.2\times0.66=281.86 cubic feet.

1 cubic feet has 7.480 gallons

So, 281.86 cubic feet will have 281.86\times7.480=2108.31 gallons of water.

5. Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

The amount you need to pay for a T shirt is

Cost = original amount(100% - 20%)

Original amount = 18

100% - 20% = 80%

80% = 80 / 100 = 0.8

What this means is that you will pay 80% of  the original cost.

Cost = 18*0.8

Cost = $14.40

Part B

Cost = 0.8 * x

Part C

Selling price = 0.8*Original Cost

Selling price = 18

18 = 0.8 * x

18/0.8 = x

x = 22.5

The original price was $22.50
