Ellie compared 4/7 and 5/3 by first comparing each fraction to 1/2 and 1.

Mathematics

Sliva [168]3 years ago

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

She made her first mistake in Step 3.

This is because 4/7 is actually less than 5/3.

Step 1 and 2 are mathematically accurate.

1/2 is less than 1.

So, since 4/7 is only greater than 1/2 and not greater than 1 as compared to 5/3 which is actually greater than 1, she should have concluded that 4/7 is less than 5/3.

Therefore, Step 3 contains the mistake.

The area of a rectangle is 72cm square. Length,/, of the rectangle is 6 cm longer than the width w
Butoxors [25]
As you haven't specifically stated what exactly the question is, I will be assuming that the question is most likely asking for what the dimensions ( length and width ) of the rectangle is. With this in mind, I will be answering the question so here I go...


STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

Let's first establish the formula for the area of a rectangle as displayed below:

Area = Length × Width

A = lw

From this, we will establish the values for each of the parts in the area formula using the information given in the problem as displayed below:

A = 72cm^2

l = w + 6

w = w

Now, we will substitute these values into the area formula and then make ( w ) the subject as displayed below:

A = lw

72 = ( w + 6 ) ( w )

72 = w ( w + 6 )

72 = w^2 + 6w

0 = w^2 + 6w - 72

0 = w^2 + 12w - 6w - 72

0 = w ( w + 12 ) - 6 ( w + 12 )

0 = ( w + 12 ) ( w - 6 )


w + 12 = 0

w = 0 - 12

w = - 12


w - 6 = 0

w = 0 + 6

w = 6

As the answer must be positive as measurements are always positive, the answer must be the option which is a positive number.

Therefore:

w = 6

Using the equation we made for the length before, we can substitute the value of ( w ) to obtain the value of the length as displayed below:

l = w + 6

l = ( 6 ) + 6

l = 12


FINAL ANSWER:

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

Length = 12cm

Width = 6cm
