Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.

Explain how to regroup 43 ones as tens and ones
zepelin [54]
The number 43 has 4 tens and 3 ones.

Now we have 43 ones given, in order to regroup them, we need to group 4 rows of 10 each and 3 rows of 1 each.

By this, we will be having:
4 rows of 10 each = 4*10 = 40
3 rows of 1 each = 3*1 = 3
which is the needed 43.

what is the formula for the sum of two whole numbers is 72. the difference is 48 what are the two numbers
Readme [11.4K]
X+y=72
x-y=48

Solve for one of the variables.
x=48+y

Then plug into the other equation and solve.
(48+y)+y=72
48+2y=72
2y=24
y=12

Use that answer in one of the formulas to find the other variable.
x+12=72
x=60

You can plug the answers into the original formulas to check the answers.
