Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
Let’s put these into one fraction each:
Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles
Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles
Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4
Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.
Hope this helps!
First rounding off the both values..
Answer = 53300 * 600
= 31980000
%age error = [(53300*600 - 53320*599) / (53320*599) ]*100
=0.1%
Answer:
99 robberies
Step-by-step explanation:
What you are basically doing is taking the discount.
1 + 14% = 1.14
113 / 1.14 = 99.12
