Width of the rectangle is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the length of the rectangle be x. Then the width = x - 3. Find dimensions if area = 40 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

⇒ 40 = x (x - 3)

⇒ 40 = x² - 3x

⇒ x² - 3x - 40 = 0

⇒ x² + 5x - 8x - 40 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

⇒ x(x + 5) - 8(x + 5) = 0

⇒ (x + 5)(x - 8) = 0

⇒ x = -5, 8 (negative value is neglected)

x = 8 and x - 3 = 5

Emily gives her bird 1/8 cup of bird seeds along with 1/3 cup of grains each day. How much food is given each day to the bird
ANEK [815]

Answer:

11/24 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

What you would do is add 1/8 plus 1/3. To add two fractions, each much have the same denominator. In this case, you would need to multiply 1/8 into 3/24 by multiplying 1/8 by 3 on the denominator and numerator. For 1/3, multiply each the numerator and denominator by 8 getting the fraction 8/24. Now you can line up each fraction and add the numerators, keeping the denominator at 24. That answer would be 11/24. This cannot be simplified, so the answer is 11/24 cup of food.

Whenever you are confused with assignments, it is best to tell your parent to help you or teacher the next day. Hope this helps though!
