1) Formula: area = height * base / 2
2) Call x the height:
height = x
base = 2x
3) State the equation:
(x)(2x) = 49 in^2
4) Solve the equation:
2x^2 = 49 in^s
x^2 = (49/2) in^2
x = √(49/2) in
x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in
5) Solution:
height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in
6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2
Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.
If 4 lbs of potatoes cost 6.78...then 1 lbs of potatoes cost 6.78/4 = 1.695...rounds to 1.70 per lb
Answer:
C. 4,100
Step-by-step explanation:
"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.
"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.
__
Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...
1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets
= 0.64b
Then the total distributed by both teams is ...
b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b
The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...
4,100 . . . choice C
__
For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.
