Answer:

1/5

1. 1/56

2. 1/6

3. 1/65

4. 1/7

5. 1/75

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions I gave (1/56, 1/6, 1/65, 1/7, 1/75) are all in between 1/5 and 1/8.

A way to think about this is to add a zero to a denominator of 1/5 and 1/8 and turn them into whole numbers:

1/5 --> 1/50 --> 50

1/8 --> 1/80 --> 80

Then find number between them:

55, 60, 65, 70, 75

Then, turn them into a fraction with a 1 as the numerator and the number as denominators:

1/55, 1/60, 1/65, 1/70, 1/75

This is the process. These numbers are all in between 1/5 and 1/8.

I hope this helps you!

(P.S., I don't think this works with negative numbers, though)

Answer: Area = 6m²

Smaller number = 16

Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m 2) w = x + 1 m

l = x + 5 m l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

2 = x

5 40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16
