Divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator. the first two digits of the decimal is the percentage
Let w = width
then
5w-3 = length
w(5w-3) = 14
5w^2-3w = 14
5w^2-3w-14=0
(5w+7)(w-2) = 0
w = {-7/5, 2}
throw out the negative solution leaving
w = 2 centimeters
length:
5w-3 =5(2)-3 =10-3 = 7 centimeters
Numbers with only two factors are called prime numbers.
well, first off, let's notice that we have a trapezoid with a rectangle inside it, so the rectangle is really "using up" area that the trapezoid already has.
now, if we just get the area of the trapezoid, and then the area of the rectangle alone, and then subtract that area of the rectangle, the rectangle will in effect be making a hole inside the trapezoid's area, and what's leftover, is the shaded section, that part the hole is not touching.

Answer: 15 guests
Explanation: To get this, you do 9.5/0.6 and that'll give you 15.833333 etc.. however since it is not a complete 16 you round down and get 15 guests.
