Answer:
The width is 5.25 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the two rectangular wooden boards that Elenor and Max used to make a set for the school play are shown in the attached photo. The widths of the two boards are equal. The lengths are 6 feets and 51/2 feets
Area of each rectangular length, L × Width, W
Area of the longer rectangular board
= 6x W = 6W feet^2
Area of the shorter rectangular board
= 11/2 x W = 11W/2 feet^2
The area of the set is 60-3/8 square feet. This is equal to 483/8 feet^2.
Therefore,
483/8 = 6W + 11W/2 = 23W/2
8 × 23W = 483 × 2
184W = 966
W = 966/184 = 5.25 feets
Answer:
No, you would multiply by 1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage goes by 'Hundreths' or .01
So 15% would be .15
We don't want to lose money along the way so we add a 1 it so it goes up for the total, like this:
28.75 * 1.15 = 33.1
<3 +<4= 180
<3+25+52=180 from here <3=180-77=103
using this in first equation: 103+<4=180 <4=180-103=77
as you can see <4=77 which is the the sum of 25+52
