Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The area would be length times width. x(4x+8) =96
4x^2+8x = 96
4x^2+8x-96=0. We need to factor.
It would be factored to (4x-16)(x+6) = 0
x would be -6 (x+6=0)
or x would be 4 (4x-16=0)
Why would the width be negative?!? So the answer is 4
Answer: The time would be 3:00
There are 60 minute per hour. If it is 11:45, it's 25 minutes until 12:10. Once it is 12:10, the next hour (after 50 minutes) would be 1:00. so if you take 11:45 and add the 25 minutes from 3 hours and 25 minutes, it is 12:10 and you are left with 3 hours. 3 hours after 12:10 is 3:10
Answer: Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that each roll has 20 yd.
She used 3 + 1/2 rolls, then the total length used will be (3 + 1/2) times the length of each roll, this is:
(3 + 1/2)*20 yd = (6/2 + 1/2)*20yd = (7/2)*20yd = 70 yd.
With tose 70 yards of ribbon, she made 15 bows, then the length of ribbon used in each bow will be equal to the quotient between the total length used and the number of ribbons made with it, this is:
70yd/15 = 4.67 yards
Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
