Sum the ratio:

s = 5 + 3 = 8

to get the first amount:

a1 = (3/8) * 56 = 21 $

a2 = (5/8) * 56 = 35 $

Check:

total = 21 + 35 = 56 $ ( as given)

ratio = 35/21 = 5/3 (as required)

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than it's width. The area of the rectangle is 84 square feet. Find it's length and widt
S_A_V [24]

Length of the rectangle is 14 ft and width is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x, then length = 8 + x. Find dimensions if area = 84 ft²

⇒ Area of the rectangle = length × width

⇒ 84 = x(8 + x) = 8x + x²

⇒ x² + 8x - 84 = 0

⇒ x² + 14x - 6x - 84 = 0 (Using product sum rule to factorize)

⇒ x(x + 14) - 6(x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x + 14)(x - 6) = 0

⇒ x = -14, +6 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6 and x + 8 = 14

Si agrupo mis lápices de 2 en dos me sobra 1; si lo hago de 3 en 3, también me sobra 1 y si lo hago de 5 en 5 ocurre los mismo.¿
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

31 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is reduce the range of responses, the first thing is to limit the numbers to the interval between 30 and 40.

If it is two by two and there is one left, it means that all the pairs are eliminated.

If it is five in five and there is one left over, the ones ending in 5 are also eliminated.

If it is three by three and there is one left over, the 33 and 39 are eliminated.

Taking this into account, the possibilities are reduced to two numbers only, 31 and 37.

37 is discarded because when it is grouped from five to five, there are 2 left over.

So the answer is 31, you have 31 pencils.
