Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
16 cups = 1 gallon
48 cups = 3 gallons
48/8 = 6 plants
Increasing. It helps to graph it out.
It would take 110 seconds or a minute and 40 seconds. 400 divided by 50 = 4...... 27.5 multiplied by 4 equals 110; therefore, the answer is mike would swim 400 meters in 110 seconds.
The dimensions of the house should be 7 m by 13 m.
If the house is to be centered, we will take the same amount from the width as we do from the length of the lot for the dimensions. This gives us (10-x) and (16-x) as the dimensions.
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width:
(10-x)(16-x) = 91
Multiplying the binomials we have:
10*16 - x*10 - x*16 -x*(-x) = 91
160 - 10x - 16x --x² = 91
160-10x-16x+x² =91
Combine like terms:
160-26x+x²=91
Rewrite this in standard form:
x²-26x+160=91
Subtract 91 from both sides:
x²-26x+160-91 = 91-91
x²-26x+69 = 0
Factoring this, we look for factors of 69 that sum to -26. -23*-3 = 69 and -23+-3 = -26, so:
(x-23)(x-3) = 0
Using the zero product property we know that either x-23=0 or x-3=0, so x=23 or x=3.
x was the amount we take off of the width and length of the lot; if we took 23m off of it, 10-23 gives us a negative amount, which is not realistic. This means both the width and length are subtracted by 3.
10-3 = 7 and 16-3 = 13.
These are the dimensions of the house.
