Answer:

The dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the house, A = 96 ft²

The link is 12 feet less than three times the width of the room .

Let the width of the room is x.

Length = 3x-12 ...(1)

The area of a rectangular room is given by :

A = lb

96 = (3x-12)x

3x^2-12x-96=0\\\\x^2-4x-32=0\\\\x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\x(x-8)+4(x-8)\\\\(x+4)(x-8)=0\\\\x=-4,8

Neglecting negative value, width = 8 feet

Put x = 8 in equation (1)

Length = 3(8) - 12

= 12 feet

Hence, the dimensions of the room is 8 feet × 12 feet.

Students put 2 1/4 pounds of trail mix into bags that each weigh 3/8 pound. They bring 2/3 of the bags of trail mix on a hiking
mestny [16]

Total amount of trail mix which is poured into the bags = 2\frac{1}{4} pounds

= \frac{9}{4} pounds

Total amount of trail mix in each bag = \frac{3}{8} pound

Number of bags with  \frac{3}{8} pound, which can be poured from 2\frac{1}{4} pounds of trail mix

= Total amount of trail mix \div Amount of trail mix in each bag

= \frac{9}{4} \div \frac{3}{8}

= \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}

= 6 bags

Number of bags taken on a hiking trip = \frac{2}{3} of bags

= \frac{2}{3} \times 6

= 4 bags

Now, number of bags of trail mix which are left = 6-4 = 2 bags.

Therefore, 2 bags are left.
