<span> First subtract how tall it was 7 1/2 years ago from how tall it is now.
57 - 40 1/2 =</span>

<span />57 -  40.5 =  16.5 or 16 1/2

<span>So in the 7 1/2 years the tree grew 16 .5 or 16 1/2 feet. To get the average yearly growth for the 7 1/2 year period you have to divide the 16 1/2 feet by 7 1/2 years.</span>

<span>It makes it much easier if you change the fractions to decimals. </span>

<span>16 1/2 = 16.5</span>

<span>7 1/2 = 7.5</span>

<span>16.5  ÷  7.5  = 2.2 or 2 1/5 feet per year</span>

<span>Hope this helps. :)</span>

What is the distance from W to X?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The answer is 35 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the distance from W to Y is x miles

Distance from W to X is 70 % of x =0.7*x

Given distance from X to Y is 15 miles.

x-15=0.7x

x-0.7x=15

0.3x=15

x=15/0.3

x=50miles

Thus the distance from W to Y is 50 miles and the distance from W to X is 50-15=35 miles

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 60 meters. Its area is 200 square meters. Find its dimensions.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

20 m by 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width and l be length , then

2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )

l = 30 - w → (1)

lw = 200 → (2)

Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)

w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )

30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form

(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10

w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20

Substitute these values into (1)

l = 30 - 10 = 20

l = 30 - 20 = 10

dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m
