X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2 it does not validate
x₂=3/2 ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10
The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles
to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒ 3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles
Answer:
I think 9h
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both variable are the same, you can divide the numbers. 27/3=9. Add back in the variable, and the answer would be 9h. That's how I would solve it at least

Answer:
{5, 10, 15, 20}
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiples of 5 are of the form 5n, where n is an integer. The ones of interest will satisfy ...
0 < 5n < 23
0 < n < 4.6
That is, the multiples of 5 we want are for values of n that are 1 through 4. The set is ...
5 × {1, 2, 3, 4} = {5, 10, 15, 20}
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
simply divide 3/10 to get 0.3 and then divide 3/5 to get 0.6 then just divide 0.3 to 0.6 to get 0.5 or 1/2
Answer:
A. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio between the terms listed is 2. Each term is being multiplied by 2, so to find the first term, you have to divide the first term listed by 2.
4/2 = 2
