2/3 < 3/4. Hope that helps
60% of trip = 45 miles
let total trip distance = l
60% is given by multiplying by 0.6
So;
0.6l = 45 \\ \\ l = \frac{45}{0.6} \\ \\ \boxed{l = 75}
Your answer is 75 miles
I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
Rounding the number to the hundreds place, the answer would be 285.39.
Hope this helped!

F(x)=x^2+3x+5
f(3+h)=(3+h)^2+3(3+h)+5
f(3+h)=9+6h+h^2+9+3h+5
f(3+h)=23+9h+h^2
