A rectangular flower bed covers an area of 11.76 square feet in the garden. The width of the flower bed is 3.5 feet less than it

s length.

The length and width of the garden will be obtain as follows:
let the length be x ft, the width will be (x+3.5)ft
area of the bed will be:
A=length*width
11.76=x(x+3.5)
11.76=x^2+3.5x
thus
x^2+3.5x-11.76=0
solving this by quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
thus plugging in the values we obtain
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt(3.5^2-4(-11.76*1))]/2
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt59.29]/2
x=[-3.5+/-7.7]/2
x=4.2 or -11.2
thus the length will be x=4.2 ft and the width will be x-3.5=0.7 ft

Metal A has a density of 12.7 g/cm3.
stira [4]

Using the given information, the density of metal B is 8.58 g/cm³

<h3>Calculating density </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the density of metal B

From the given information,

55 g of metal A is combined with metal B to create an alloy with mass 90 g

∴ Mass of metal B in the alloy = 90 g - 55 g = 35 g

Now, we will determine the volume of metal A in the alloy

Using the formula,

Density = Mass / Volume

∴ Volume = Mass / Density

Volume of metal A in the alloy = 55/12.7

Volume of metal A in the alloy = 4.33 cm³

Then, we will determine the volume of the alloy

Volume of the alloy = 90/10.7

Volume of the alloy = 8.41 cm³

∴ Volume of metal B in the alloy = 8.41 cm³- 4.33 cm³

Volume of metal B in the alloy = 4.08 cm³

Now, for the density of metal B

Density = mass / volume

Density of metal B = 35 / 4.08

Density of metal B = 8.58 g/cm³

Hence, the density of metal B is 8.58 g/cm³.

A group walked 3/8 mile in 1/5 hour. Which is the groups walking speed in miles per hour
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The groups walking speed is 1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}  or 1.875\frac{miles}{hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the distance by the time

so

\frac{(3/8)}{(1/5)}=\frac{15}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}

Convert to mixed number

\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}
