Answer:
Area is 147.74
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to recall that the equation for the area of a rectangle is:
Length * Width = area
So 16 3/5 * 8 9/10 = area
Rearrange so the whole numbers are being multiplied and the fractions are too:
We need to make the denominator same, this can be done by simply multiplying 3/5 by 2:
3/5 * 2 = 6/10
Now the two numbers can be written as 16.6 and 8.9.
Multiply both numbers by 10:
166 * 89 = 14774
Then divide this by 100 (two lots of division by 10)
14774 ÷ 1000 = 147.74
So the area of the rectangle is 147.74!

Answer: 5.6 cm
Step by Step: I used the same formula as the question before and I got the answer for this question. When solving questions like this, you can work backwards from the problem and then solve
Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
first take 16x from both sides of the equation
x²-12x-5=0
now we have a quadratic. we can solve it by using the quadratic formula
x=-b plus or minus the square root of b²-4ac all divided by 2a
where a=1, b=-12 and c=-5
plug these numbers into the formula
x=12 plus or minus the square root of 144-4x1x-5 all divided by 2
<span>x=12 plus or minus the square root of 164 all divided by 2
or in decimal form </span>x = {12.403124237, -0.403124237}
