Answer:

Length = 10.435 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l

Let the width be w

Since the length is 9 inches more than half the width.

Then;

L = 0.5w + 9

Perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2Lw

Thus;

P = 2w(0.5w + 9)

Since perimeter = 60

Then;

2w(0.5w + 9) = 60

w² + 18w = 60

w² + 18w - 60 = 0

From quadratic formula;

w ≈ 2.87 in

L = 0.5(2.87) + 9

L = 10.435 in

HELPPPP HURRYYYYYYY A bag contains 150 marbles which are red, green, and blue. Suppose a student randomly selects a marble witho

Answer:

75 green marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the question, we can create a ratio representing all the marbles in the bag.

9 red:15 green:6 blue

We need to find the total number of times the student drew a marble by finding the sum

9+15+6= 30

The sample size is 30

150 is 5x the amount of 30, that means we need to multiply the given information by 5 to predict the number of green marbles

9x5=45

15x5=75

6x5=30

Now we have 45 red: 75 green: 30 blue

Based on the given information, we can predict that the bag contains 75 green marbles
