x=2.31. that will be your answer.
Could you please give a little more info on this problem?? I wanna help but im confused
To find how much each pound of beans costs (assuming no tax), we get 19.75/2.5 (as we want to figure out how much 2.5 goes into 19.75) to get 7.90 as our cost per pound
Let's start by defining a few variables:
x=width of the floor
x+36= length of the floor
Since area = length x width, we can write the equation:
x(x+36)<2040 ft² (this is your mathematical sentence
Make a chart of the possible values:
x | x+36| Area
30 66 = 1980 fits
31 67 = 2077 *too big
So, all dimensions with length smaller than 30 and widths smaller than 66 fit the system.
x(x+36)=144? Let's try smallest numbers - width of 1 ft, length of 37 ft
1(37)=37 too small
3(39)=117 nope
4(40)=160 nope
So, no, 144 ft² is not a realistic answer.
650 to the nearest 100
And anything above 650 to the nearest 100 might be reading the question wrong sorry
