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

If you start with Malvin’s age, take half of it, increase that result by 5, then divide by 3, and finally double that, you get 8
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Malvin's age be x.

  • x / 2
  • x / 2 + 5 = 5x / 10  [ By taking the L.C.M.]
  • ( 5x / 10 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = 5x / 30   [ Multiply with the reciprocal of 3 ]
  • ( 5x / 30 ) * 2 = 5x / 15

Now let's solve the equation,

5x / 15 = 8

       5x = 8 * 15

       5x = 120

         x = 120 / 5

         x = 24

Therefore, Malvin is 24 years old.

Answer:

A,  c(excluding tip, if the tip is included then c is not the answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved the Equations:

A)1/8(x+16)=76/8----60  (this is the correct answer!)

B)1/8(x+16=76)------ 592  (NOT the correct answer

c)x=60 Represents total food bill excluding tip

d) x=60 does represent each friends share of the food bill

For an angle θ, tan(θ) is a negative number. Which quadrants might θ be in?
Klio2033 [76]

So for this question, we're asked to find the quadrant in which the angle of data lies and were given to conditions were given. Sign of data is less than zero, and we're given that tangent of data is also less than zero. Now I have an acronym to remember which Trig functions air positive in each quadrant. . And in the first quadrant we have that all the trig functions are positive. In the second quadrant, we have that sign and co seeking are positive. And the third quadrant we have tangent and co tangent are positive. And in the final quadrant, Fourth Quadrant we have co sign and seeking are positive. So our first condition says the sign of data is less than zero. Of course, that means it's negative, so it cannot be quadrant one or quadrant two. It can't be those because here in Quadrant one, we have that all the trick functions air positive and the second quadrant we have that sign. If data is a positive, so we're between Squadron three and quadrant four now. The second condition says the tangent of data is also less than zero now in Quadrant three. We have that tangent of data is positive, so it cannot be quadrant three, so our r final answer is quadrant four, where co sign and seek in are positive.
