The area of a rectangle is (length) times (width).
So you have to find a pair of numbers that multiply to produce 6 .
If you only stick to whole numbers, then I don't think there are three
different ones. You're going to need one pair that multiply to 6 and
are not both whole numbers.
After I explain how to solve problems, I hate to give answers. But with
all due respect, I have a feeling that I haven't nudged you enough yet
for you to use my explanation to find the answers on your own.
So here are some answers:
1 and 6
2 and 3
and sets of dimensions that are not both whole numbers, like
0.6 and 10
1.2 and 5
1.25 and 4.8
1.5 and 4
2.4 and 2.5
the answer of it is $2 the original price
3 carries of 8 yds.....3 * 8 = 24 yds
5 carries of 6 yds.....5 * 6 = 30 yds
so we have a total of 8 carries for 54 yds..
54/8 = 6.75 <== average yds per carry
