Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
I knew I would have 1 foot left so that made sure it wasn’t A then I knew that it the answer had to be in yards so I convert 8 feet into yards which becomes 2.7 so it’s not three which makes I’m not C. So 9 yards minus 2.7 yards would equal the answer B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the land A - Length * Width
Given
A = 1 3/4 mi²
Length L = 2 1/3 miles
Required
Width of the property
Substitute into the formula;
A = LW
W = A/L
W = 1 3/4/(2 1/3)
W = 7/4 ÷ 7/3
W = 7/4 × 3/7
W = 3/4 miles
Hence the width of the property is 3/4 miles
Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14
The number is 59 13/14.
_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.
