Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
count the blocks
Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>Total miles = 2.5 miles
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>1- While walking:</u>
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked
of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:</u>
Distance = 3 *
= 1 mile
<u>2- While running:</u>
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran
of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:</u>
Distance = 6 *
= 1.5 miles
<u>3- getting the total mileage:</u>
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles
Hope this helps :)
