Answer:
14/15 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We add each color of fabric to find the total amount of fabric used.
1/3 +3/5
We need to get a common denominator of 15
1/3 *5/5 = 5/15
3/5*3/3 = 9/15
5/15 + 9/15 = 14/15
Answer:
part 1 of the question is d ,and part 2 of the question is b.
This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:


Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then


Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.
