You can peel 48 potatoes in 10 minutes. How long will it take you to peel 100 potatoes?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

About 20.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.

48

__

10

That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).

100

___

 x

Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.

\frac{48}{10} =\frac{100}{x}      Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).

48x=1000    Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.

About 20.8 minutes

The area of a rectangle is 77ft and the length of the rectangle is 3ft more than double the width. Find the dimensions of the re
Radda [10]
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b  and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3)   and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.

Look at the example problem. Explain how you know 1 5/8 is little greater than 1 1/2.
natita [175]

Convert the fractions so both fractions have the same denominator. 1 1/2 is equal to 1 4/8 (1/2 * 4/4= 4/8). 1 4/8 is smaller than 1 5/8.

Daniel wants to create a banner for his construction business to hang at the house he just built. Daniel will use a single sign
Nina [5.8K]
The solution for this problem is just simple. It tells you to find the area in square feet. Thus, convert the units to feet first. The conversion you need to know are: 12 in = 1 ft and 3 ft = 1 yard.

Width = 42 in * 1 ft/12 in = 3.5 ft
Length = 10 yards * 3 ft/1 yard = 30 ft

Area = Length*Width = 30*3.5
<em>Area = 105 ft²</em>
