Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.
First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.
"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"
To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.
Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".
So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.
To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.
So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.
Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.
So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x
To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x
We are now left with:
x = 3.75
Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.
I hope this helps!
Answer: The age of the twins is 10 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the age of older sister be x
Let the age of twins sister be x-9, as they are born after 9 years.
Product of their ages be
Sum of their ages will be
According to question,
So, Age of older sister will be 19 years.
Age of the twins will be
Hence, the age of the twins is 10 years.
Part a : you could draw a line from each corner to the middle
This would give you 7 triangles in total
Part b : area of one triangle : 4.5*7.8 = 35.1 / 2 = 17.55in <-- area of 1 triangle
Part c : so if there are 7 triangles and the area of 1 triangle is 17.55, you would do:
7 * 17.55 = 122.85
mu = 1100 = population mean
sigma = 275 = population standard deviation
x = 1400 = raw score
z = z score
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (1400-1100)/(275)
z = 300/275
z = 1.0909090909091 approximately
z = 1.09
Convention is to round to two decimal places so that you can use a Z table to look up the area under the curve (which helps determine probability).
The positive z score is due to Paula's raw score being above the mean.
