Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles. It says to find out a fraction with a denominator of 4 and which is less than 7/12.
Let's assume the required fraction to be x/4 such that x/4 is less than 7/12.
So we must have multiples of 3's that should be less than 7, we have only two choices 3 < 7 or 6 < 7.
It means x = 1 or x = 2, and the required fraction would be 1/4 or 2/4.
2/4 is simplified to 1/2 and the question says to have denominator 4.
Hence, final answer is 1/4
Answer:
Dimensions, Length = 85 feet and Width = 40 feet
Area of lawn = 3400
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Lawn is rectangular in shape
Length of lawn is 5 feet more than twice its breath/width
Perimeter of Lawn = 250 feet
To find: (a) Length and width of lawn
(b) Area of Lawn
First let the a variable for width/breadth. Say, Width = b.
So, the length of lawn = 2b + 5
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( length + width )
Now, substitue given values in this formula
∴ Perimeter of Lawn = 2 × ( 2b + 5 + b )
∴width = 40 feet
⇒ length = 85 feet
Now we find are of lawn using formula of area of rectangle
Area of lawn = length × width
= 85 × 40
= 3400
Dimensions, Length = 85 feet and Width = 40 feet
Area of lawn = 3400
