Answer:

36 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Data:

A = 864 ft²

 l = length of basement

w = ⅔l

Calculations:

864 = l × ⅔l

864 = ⅔l²

Multiply each side by 3:               2592 = 2l²

Divide each side by 2:                  1296 = l²

Take the square root of each side:     l = 36

The length of the basement is 36 ft.

Check:

w = ⅔l = 24 ft

864 = 36 × 24

864 = 864

One number is 6 more than another. Twice the larger number is 5 times the smaller.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The smaller number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number = x

Smaller number = y

Write 2 equations

y + 6 = x

2x = 5y

Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation

2(y + 6) = 5y

Multiply 2(y + 6)

2y + 12 = 5y

Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation

12 = 3y

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

y = 4

x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The smaller number is 4

Hope this helps :)

A recipe for cake calls for 5.25 deciliters of milk. How many liters of milk are needed for the cake?
Anni [7]
To convert the amount of milk from deciliters to liters we proceed as follows:
1 liter = 10 deciliters
therefore the amount of liters used in making the cake will be found as follows:
5.25/10×1=0.525 liters

Answer: 0.525 liters
