The correct answer to this question is <span>12.25 sq inches.

The largest rectangle is a square.

So if you divide 14" by 4 then you get 4 3.5" sides.


Area of a rectangle = L*W

<span>Area of a rectangle = 3.5 * 3.5</span>

<span>Area of a rectagle = 12.25 sq inches</span>

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The fraction of the students play soccer =  \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In the town of Destin, 2/3 of the students in middle school participate in organized sports after school.

To find -  If 3/5 of them play soccer, what fraction of the students play soccer? Enter your answer in simplest form

Solution -

Let us assume that,

Total number of students in the middle school = 3x

Now,

Given that

2/3 of the students in middle school participate in organized sports after school.

So,

Total students participated in organized sports = (2/3)×3x

                                                                               = 2x

⇒Total students participated in organized sports = 2x

Now,

Given that,

3/5 of them play soccer

So,

Total players who play soccer = (3/5)×2x

                                                   = 6x/5

⇒Total players who play soccer = 6x/5

Now,

The fraction of total students play soccer = (6x/5) ÷ (3x)

                                                                     = \frac{6x}{5}*\frac{1}{3x}

                                                                     = \frac{2}{5}

∴ we get

The fraction of the students play soccer =  \frac{2}{5}

iragen [17]

Answer:

175 means the city's population is 175 thousands in 2010.

Step-by-step explanation:

The model below gives the projection of the city's population , P, in thousands, with respect to time, t, in years, where 2010 corresponds to t=0.

The given equation is

P=175+\dfrac{11}{2}t

We need to interpret 175 for the given model.

Substitute t=0 in the above equation.

P=175+\dfrac{11}{2}(0)

P=175

At t=0 the value of P is 175 it means the city's population is 175 thousands in 2010.
