Answer:
The longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
The length of the longer side
Area of a rectangle is:
List out all possible products that give 99 [Assume the dimension are whole numbers]
List out the longer factors
<em>Hence, the longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
The length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. If a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches then the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that the length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. Directly propotional means when the length of paper clip increases, then the number of paper clips also increases in same ratio.
Hence, by above definition, we get
------- eqn 1
From question, for a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches, we get
Similarly, for a chain with 14 paper clips with length to be found, we get
Now by using eqn 1, we can calculate the length of 14 paper clips is,
Rearranging the terms we get,
Hence the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.
