Answer:

  Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.

Explanation:

 Let the size of old square room be a x a.

 New dimension = ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 )

   We have area of the new room will be 144 square feet greater than the area of the original room.

  So,     ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 ) = a x a + 144

              a²+10a+24= a²+144

              10a = 120

                  a = 12 feet.

 Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.

Seven hundred new chairs were delivered to a school. If each class
Natalija [7]

Answer:

24 chairs in each class needed

25 classrooms

700 chairs total

how many extra chairs

chairs will be c

t is total

t= 25×c

opposite of multiplication is division( 25 is multiplying by c) c needs to be alone

25 classrooms times chairs equal total chairs

t is 700

700=25×c

700/25=25/25c

700/25=C

c is 28

so 28 chairs for 25 classrooms

they need 24 chairs per class

so there are 4 extra chairs per class

4×25 is 100

**or just multiply 25 classes and 24 chairs

25 times 24 is 600

there are 700 chairs

100 left over

so 100 extra chairs

<h3>Answer:   choice F) 12 & 1/2 square yards.</h3>

=====================================================

We'll use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

to convert from a mixed number to an improper fraction.

Let's convert the first mixed number to an improper fraction

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

3 & 3/4 = (3*4 + 3)/4

3 & 3/4 = 15/4

Repeat the same idea for the second mixed number as well

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

3 & 1/3 = (3*3 + 1)/3

3 & 1/3 = 10/3

--------------------

In short we have

  • 3 & 3/4 = 15/4
  • 3 & 1/3 = 10/3

Doing these conversions is useful to be able to multiply the values like so:

(15/4)*(10/3) = (15*10)/(4*3) = 150/12 = (6*25)/(6*2) = 25/2

Now use your calculator to find that 25/2 = 12.5

We can then say....

12.5 = 12 + 0.5 = 12 + (1/2) = 12 & 1/2

The answer is choice F) 12 & 1/2 square yards.
