Bella can cut about 24 pieces because you have to divide 85 feet by 3.5 feet to find out how many pieces which is 24.285 and so on but you just round to 24.

Scientific notation for above vLue is :
Solving this requires use of conversions
we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m
all that's left is the question
200 cm vs. 2.05 meters
I we know our equivalencies, we know that
100 cm = 1 m
if this is so then
200 cm = 2 m
we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m
so it must also be that
2.05 m > 200 cm
l = 2w + 4
l * w = 48
We can substitute l with its value:
2w + 4 * w = 48
2w^2 + 4w - 48 = 0
2(w^2 + 2w - 24) = 0
2(w+6)(w-4) = 0
w = {4, -6}
