Answer:

166\frac{2}{3}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the average depth of the resulting layers of ash and rock

we know that

To find out the average depth, divide the cubic kilometers of molten rock by the area where all the ejected material fell.

so

\frac{100\ km^3}{600\ km^2}=\frac{1}{6}\ km

Convert to meters

Remember that

1\ km=1,000\ m

so

\frac{1}{6}\ km=\frac{1}{6}(1,000)=\frac{1,000}{6}=\frac{500}{3}\ m

Convert to mixed number

\frac{500}{3}\ m=\frac{498}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=166\frac{2}{3}\ m

omeli [17]
Given: A= 14 ft²  and  l= 2w-3 
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify: 
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2 
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft
