C. 3/2 divided by 3
Alina has 3/2 hours to complete her homework. She should divide her 3/2 hours by the 3 assignments to determine how much time she will spend on each assignment. This turns out to be 1/2 hours, or 30 minutes, on each assignment. 3/2 hours is the same thing as 90 minutes, so this answer makes sense. We want the time to be divided by the number of assignments, not vice versa.
Let the length of the patio is x and width is 3/4x
So according to the equation x.3/4x = 432
x^2. 3/4 =432
x^2 =432 times 4/3
x^2 =1728/3 =576
x= 24
The length is 24 ft
3/45 = 20/x...3 in to 45 seconds = 20 in to x seconds
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (45)(20)
3x = 900
x = 900/3
x = 300...300 seconds (or 5 minutes)to fill the tub with 20 inches
The answer is 3
5x = 16-1
5x = 15
x = 3
