Answer:

<u>The area of the rectangular field is 20,000 square meters.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of times a person jogged along the rectangular field = 10

Speed of the person jogging = 12 km per hour

Time he/she jogged = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Length of the field = twice its width

2. Find the area of the field in square meters.

Step A: Let's calculate the distance the person jogged

Let's recall the formula of the speed:

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed * Time

Replacing with the values we know:

Distance = 12 * 0.5

<u>Distance = 6 kilometers</u>

Step B: Let's calculate the perimeter of the rectangular field

Distance jogged = ¨Perimeter * 10

6 kilometers = Perimeter * 10

Perimeter = 6/10

<u>Perimeter = 0.6 kilometers = 0.6 * 1,000 = 600 meters</u>

Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * Width

x = Width of the rectangular field

2x = Length of the rectangular field

600 = 2 * 2x + 2 * x

600 = 4x + 2x

600 = 6x

<u>x = 600/6 = 100 meters ⇒ 2x = 200 meters</u>

Step C: Let's calculate the area of the rectangular field

Let's recall the formula of the area of a rectangle:

A = Length * Width

A = 200 * 100

<u>A = 20,000 m² (square meters)</u>

What is the numerator of the simplified sum?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{x² + 3x + 2} + \frac{3}{x + 1}

To determine what the numerator would be, after simplifying both fractions, take the following steps:

Step 1: Factorise the denominator of the first fraction, x² + 3x + 2.

Thus,

x² + 2x + x + 2

(x² + 2x) + (x + 2)

x(x + 2) +1(x + 2)

(x + 1)(x + 2)

We would now have the following as our new fractions to add together and simplify:

\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}

Step 2: find the highest common factor of the denominator of both fractions.

Highest common factor of (x + 1)(x + 2) and (x + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 2)

Step 3: To add both fractions, divide the highest common factor gotten in step 2 by each denominator, and then multiply the result by the numerator of each fraction.

Thus,

\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}

\frac{x + 3(x + 2)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}

\frac{x + 3x + 6)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}

\frac{4x + 6)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}

Therefore, the numerator of the simplified form sum of both fractions = 4x + 6

4 1/3 - 1 2/3 how to solve this please
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

2\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Convert 4\frac{1}{3} to improper fraction. Use this rule: a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{ac+b}{c}.

\frac{4\times3+1}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}

2) Simplify 4 * 3 to 12.

\frac{12+1}{3}

3) Simplify 12 + 1 to 13.

\frac{13}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}

4) Convert 1\frac{2}{3}   to improper fraction. Use this rule: a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{ac+b}{c}.

\frac{13}{3} -\frac{1\times3+2}{3}

5) Simplify 1 * 3 to 3.

\frac{13}{3} -\frac{3+2}{3}

6) Simplify 3 + 2 to 5.

\frac{13}{3} -\frac{5}{3}

7) Join the denominators.

\frac{13-5}{3}

8) Simplify.

\frac{8}{3}

9) Convert to mixed fraction.

2\frac{2}{3}

(Decimal Form: 2.666667)
