Given:
Rectangle shape.
One side: 5x + 2
other side: x - 4
Area = length * width
Area = (5x+2)(x-4)
A = 5x(x-4) +2(x-4)
A = 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8
A = 5x² - 18x - 8
Interest is 3.20 per 100
3.2 × 275/100
=3.2 × 2.75
answer A $8.80
So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
Answer:
The length of the shorter piece=0.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the lengths be as follow;
Shorter piece=x
Longer piece=15 cm longer than twice shorter piece(x)
Since 1 m=100 cm, 15 cm=15/100=0.15 m
Longer piece= (2×x)+0.15=2x+0.15
Total length=1.2 m
Total length=shorter piece+longer piece
Replacing;
1.2=x+2x+0.15
3x=1.2-0.15
3x=1.05
x=(1.05/3)=0.35
The length of the shorter piece=x=0.35
Answer:
(a) Number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit is (1.1t) inches
(b) The remaining length of the candle is (16 - 1.1t) inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Length of candle before it was lit = 16 inches
Constant rate at which at which candle burns = 1.1 inches per hour
Let t represent the number of hours that have elapsed since the candle was lit
In 1 hour, 1.1 inches of the candle burned
Therefore, in t hours, (1.1t) inches of the candle would have burned since the candle was lit
(b) Remaining length of candle = length of candle before it was lit - length of candle that have burned = 16 inches - 1.1t inches = (16 - 1.1t) inches
