Answer:
x=3/5 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Box of crackers-1 15.00-3.50= 11.50
bags of fruit- 2 4.75*2= 9.50
Remainder- $2.00
So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
Answer:
2x2x3x3=36...so it is not equivalent to 24
