Answer:

length = 9 in ; width = 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1) formula of the area of a rectangle

A = base x width

2) write an equation with the given informations:

w x (3w-3) = 36

3) solve the equation

-  multiply W by 3w and -3

3w^2 -3w = 36

- divide the two members by 3

w^2 - w = 12

- add up -12 at the two members

w^2-w -12 = 12 -12

w^2 - w - 12 = 0

- find two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -12 and factorise the equation

(w-4)(w+3) = 0

- find the two solutions

w-4 = 0

w = 4

w+3 = 0

w = -3

4)remember that a length can’t be negative.

w = 4 is the only solution

5) find the length

4x3 - 3 = 9

Plz help!! A jar contained 6 red marbles, 10 green marbles, and 8 blue marbles. A marble was selected at random, the color was r
Inessa [10]

Answer:

To calculate the relative frequency, first we need to know what exactly is and how to calculate it.

Relative frequency is the ratio between the absolute frequency (how many repetitions have a specific outcome) and the total outcomes. Also, this type of frequency is used to show the representation that some data have over the whole distribution.

So, in this case, we need to just divide 13, which belongs to red marble's results, to 60 which is the total outcomes, as it's presented:

         13redmarble                                                                                                                       Fr = -------------------------

       60 totalmarbles  

Normally, relative frequency is shown as a percentage multiplying this result by 100. Therefore, 22% is the approximate percentage of the relative frequency, which means that 22% is the representation of red marbles outcomes of the whole distribution, or we can say it as a probability: there's 22% of chances when someone extract a marble, it will be red.

What is the answer to 5/8 . 2/7 and what does the dot stand for the dot is actually a little higher
Illusion [34]
First, the dot stands for the "product". You have to multiply.

5/8* 2/7
= [5/ (2*4)]* (2/7)
= 5/4* 1/7 (because 2 and 2 cancel out)
= (5*1)/ (4*7)
= 5/28

The final answer is 5/28~

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

6.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If she travels 2 1/6 in 1/3 hours you would simply multiply by 3 because she would need to travel 2 1/6 miles three times in order for an hour to pass.
