Answer: In 4 minutes he will make 5 portraits
Step-by-step explanation:
Sometimes when you're given dimensions that differ by some amount, it is easier to work with their average value. Let x represent the average of length and width of the rectangle. The length and width differ from this average value by 1.5 m. Then the area is
.. (x +1.5)*(x -1.5) = 154
.. x^2 -2.25 = 154
.. x^2 = 156.25
.. x = 12.5
The width is 1.5 m shorter than this, or 11 m.
_____
Solved in the conventional way, you are looking for factors of 154 that differ by 3. This means you have to find the factors of 154, or use the quadratic formula.
.. 154 = 1*154 = 2*77 = 7*22 = 11*14 (the pair we want)
Once you have the factorization of 154, you have the answer. No equations are necessary, really.
Answer:
960 sprinkles
Step-by-step explanation:
x = sprinkles
For this problem we will create a ratio
24x=384*60
24x=23,040
x=23,040/24
x=960
Stan would need 960 sprinkles!
Hope this helps!

Answer:
60 sq in
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2l + 2w
If l = w+4
Perimeter = 2(w+4) + 2w
Perimeter = 4w+8
32 = 4w + 8
24 = 4w
6 = w
If w = 6, l = 6+4 = 10
Area = l * w
Area = 10 * 6
Area = 60
