To solve the problem you have to take 682,494 and divide it be 20 because 1 in every 20 accidents are caused by that. So, if you divide that you will see what 1 in every 20 is so the equation would be 682,494 div by 20 which will give you 34,124.
The answer would be 26.25
Let the width be x.
width = x
length = x + 8
The area is 20 ft²
x(x + 8) = 20
x² + 8x = 20
x² + 8x - 20 = 0
(x + 10) (x - 2) = 0
x = -10 (rejected) or x = 2
Width = x = 2 ft
Length = x + 8 = 2 + 8 = 10 ft
Answer: The width is 2 ft and the length is 10ft.
3/4 is greater than 2/3 is the right one. Because 1/2 is more than 1/3. -1/4 is not less than -2/3, and -1 is not greater than 3/4s. I hope it helps
