Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is 171 m²
Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle
It width is 10 m less than the length. So,
b = l-10 ...(1)
Area of a rectangle is given by :
or
l = 9 m or l = 19 m
If l = 9 m,
b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)
If l = 19 m
b = 19-10 = 9 m
So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When converting mixed numbers (such as the one above), to improper fractions, we must first multiply the whole number by the denominator:
Then, add the numerator the the product:
Now, put the sum over the denominator to get your solution:
-
To check your work, you can convert the improper fraction to a mixed number to make sure you will end up with .
Divide into
:
with a remainder of
Put the remainder over the denominator:
Therefore, our solution is correct!
