Answer:

Length = 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangular floor= 605ft²

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Formula for area of rectangular floor= Length × width

Put the given into the formula.

605 ft² = x × 1/5x

605 ft² = x²/5

multiplying both sides by 5

605 ft² × 5 = x²/5 × 5

x² = 605 ft² × 5

= 3025 ft²

x= √3025 ft²

x= 55 ft

Put x into the unknown above.

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Length = 55 ft

Width= (1/5)×55 = 11 ft

First, you need to find out the perimeter of the fence and how much of the fence he had around his garden last year (leftovers) and subtract them I think.

Revolution in Russia is the lession
atroni [7]

Answer: The answers are in the photo. (They are color-coded.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A monarchy, democracy, and communism are different ways to run a government.

A monarchy is usually ruled by someone of royalty, like a king or queen. Typically, they inherit all the power and get to make all the decisions, whether their people like it or not.

In a democracy, the people have many liberties and rights. They get to vote for candidates that represent them that could get elected as a president, minister, mayor, etc. Those elected have to listen to what their people want.

In communism, the government gets to make all the decisions whether it benefits the people or not. This is runned by a single-party, meaning no other parties are allowed to be developed or run.

10 times as much as blank hundred is 70 hundreds or blank thousands
netineya [11]

Answer:

10 times as much as 7 hundred is 70 hundreds or 7 thousands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is:

10 times as much as _____ hundreds is 70 hundreds or _____ thousands.

Dividing the question into two fractions, we have:

10 times what is 70 hundreds?

What is 70 hundreds in thousands?

10 x 7 hundred = 10 x 700 = 70 hundreds

Recall that 70 hundreds = 70 00

70 hundreds = 70 00 = 7 thousands = 7 000

Therefore, the question can be written as:

10 times as much as 7 hundreds is 70 hundreds or 7 thousands.
