The area of a rectangle patio is 12-3/8 square meters. The width of the patio is 2-3/4 meters. What is the length?

1 answer:

6 0

Area=length x width
A=lw
A=12 3/8
l=x
w=2 3/4

first, make your mixed numbers into improper fractions
12 3/8 --> 99/8
2 3/4 --> 11/4

then, set equal denominators

99/8 and 22/8

99/8=22/8x --plug in values
99/22=x --divide both sides by 22/8

convert improper fraction to mixed number
99/22 --> 4 11/22 --> 4 1/2

therefore, the length is 4 1/2 meters

X + (x + 10) = 154
2 x + 10 = 154
2 x = 154-10 = 144
x = 72 (ans)
Not sure if it’s right

Mr. Abraham is 36 years old. His wife is 6 years younger than him and their son is 24 years old younger than his wife. What is t

sesenic [268]

Hi!
We know that Mr. Abraham’s wife is 6 years younger than him, which is 36-6, which means his wife is 30 years old.

We also know that Mr A’s son is 24 years younger than his wife, which is 30-24, which is 6.

As of right now, we now know that:
Mr. A is 36
Mr. A’s wife is 30
Mr. A’s son is 6

It’s asking for the ratio of Him:Wife:Son, so 36:30:6.

BUT, it’s asking for simplest form, so divide each of those numbers by 6.

Your answer is: 6:5:1

A simple impact crater on the moon has a diameter of 15 kilometers. a complex impact crater has a radius of 30 kilometers. how m

timurjin [86]

The general equation for computing the circumference of a circle is $C=\pi d$ , where C is the circumference, and d is the diameter. (You might also see the equation as $C=2 \pi r$ where r is the radius, because $d=2r$ )

Computing the circumferences of the two circles, we get:
$C_{d=15}=\pi (15)=15\pi$
$C_{d=30}=\pi (30)=30\pi$ .

To calculate the ratio of two numbers, we can divide one by the other. You can look at this as "How many times does the denominator fit in the numerator?"
$\frac{C_{d=30}}{C_{d=15}}=\frac{30\pi}{15\pi}=2$
So the circumference of the complex impact crater is 2 times greater than the circumference of the simple impact crater.
