//Use algebra to find work out the size

14 = w * l
l = 5 + w
14 = w * (5 + w)
14 = 5w + w^2
0 = w^2 + 5w - 14
0 = (w - 2) (w + 7)
=> w = 2cm (as it cannot be negative)

l = w + 5
l = 7cm

0.24 times 0.4<br> Equals
Komok [63]

That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.

0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).

seropon [69]

Answer:

2 3/4 C

Step-by-step explanation:

(21+\frac{1}{4})-(18+\frac{2}{4})\\=21-18+\frac{1}{4} -\frac{2}{4} \\=3-\frac{1}{4} \\=\frac{12-1}{4} \\=\frac{11}{4} \\=2\frac{3}{4} \\or\\21\frac{1}{4} -18\frac{2}{4} \\=\frac{85}{4} -\frac{74}{4} \\=\frac{85-74}{4} \\=\frac{11}{4} \\=2\frac{3}{4}

At the movie theater, childs admission is $6.10. Adult admission is $9.40. On Tuesday four times as many adult tickets as child
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The number of children's tickets sold was 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of children's tickets sold

y ----> the number of adult's tickets sold

we know that

6.10x+9.40y=1,179.90 ----> equation A

y=4x ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

6.10x+9.40(4x)=1,179.90

solve for x

6.10x+37.6x=1,179.90

43.7x=1,179.90

x=27

therefore

The number of children's tickets sold was 27
