Answer:

\large\boxed{\text{The original width}\ =\dfrac{4}{5}\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The dimensions of rectangle:}\ \dfrac{3}{5}\times w.\\\\\text{The dimensions of new rectangel:}\ \dfrac{3}{5}\times\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\\\\\text{The area of the new rectangle:}\ A=\dfrac{7}{25}\ ft^2\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=\dfrac{7}{25}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 25}\\\\25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5\cdot\dfrac{3}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{7}{25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}

15\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\15w-15\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5\cdot\dfrac{1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=7\\\\15w-5=7\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\15w=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 15}\\\\w=\dfrac{12:3}{15:3}\\\\w=\dfrac{4}{5}

A school principal plans to form teams from 126 third-graders, 180 fourth-graders, and 198 fifth-graders so that there is the sa
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

There are 9 teams possible each having 14 third-graders, 20 Fourth-graders, 22 Fifth-graders

Step-by-step explanation:

126 third-graders

180 fourth-graders

198 fifth-graders

Find the highest common factor of 126, 180, 198

Factors of 126: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 126.

Factors of 180 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30, 36, 45, 60, 90, 180

Factors of 198: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, 198.

The highest common factor of 126, 180, 198 is 9

The largest possible number of teams that can be formed is 9

Each team has

third-graders = 126 / 9

= 14

Fourth-graders = 180 / 9

= 20

Fifth-graders = 198 divided by 9

= 22

There are 9 teams possible each having 14 third-graders, 20 Fourth-graders, 22 Fifth-graders
