The width is 1/2 mi.

We know that area of a rectangle is length times width:

A = lw

The length is 2 2/3 the width, so 
l = 2 2/3w

We will change this to an improper fraction; multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator:
l = 8/3w

Using this for l in the area formula, we have:
A = (8/3w)(w) = 8/3w²
2/3 = 8/3w²

Divide both sides by 8/3:

2/3÷8/3 = 8/3w²÷8/3
2/3×3/8 = w²
2/8 = w²
0.25 = w²

Take the square root of both sides:
√0.25 = √w²
0.5 = w

Can someone explain this step by step please
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

x = - 2

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to put - 3x in for y in the second equation.

4x - 2(-3x) = - 20        Watch the signs. You have 2 minus signs.

4x - - 6x = -20            Change - - 6x to 6x

4x + 6x = - 20              Add

10x = - 20                   Divide by 10

x = -20/10

x = - 2

============================

Find y

y = - 3x

y = -3 * -2

y = 6

Henry is making a recipe for biscuits. A recipe calls for 3 /10 kilogram flour and 8 /100 kilogram sugar. If Henry measures corr
fgiga [73]

Answer:

38/100

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine the amounts, add the fractions with a common denominator.

3/10 kilogram flour is 30/100.

8/100 kilogram of sugar.

Both now have the same denominator. Add the numerators to find the total.

30/100 + 8/100 = 38/100
