Answer:

The dimensions of the old rug are 8 ft by 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the old rug

y ----> the width of the old rug

we know that

100\%+50\%=150\%=150\100=1.5

so

The dimensions of the old rug multiplied by the factor 1.5 must be equal to the dimensions of the new rug

so

1.5x=12\\x=8\ ft

1.5y=18\\y=12\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the old rug are 8 ft by 12 ft

Find d<br><br> a * a * a = 216<br> a * b * c = 96<br> b * c = 52<br> a + b + c = d
Slav-nsk [51]

a\cdot a\cdot a=216\\\\a^3=216\to a=\sqrt[3]{216}\\\\\boxed{a=6}\\\\\text{Substitute}\ b\cdot c=52\ \text{to the second expression}\ a\cdot b\cdot c=96:\\\\abc96\ \wedge\ bc=52\to a(52)=96\qquad\text{divide both sides by 52}\\\\a=\dfrac{96}{52}\to a=\dfrac{24}{13}\neq6

a = 6 and a = 24/13  FALSE!!!
