Answer:

A backyard farmer wants to enclose a rectangular space for a new garden. She has purchased 80 feet of wire fencing to enclose 3 sides, and will put the 4th side against the backyard fence. Find a formula for the area enclosed by the fence if the sides of fencing perpendicular to the existing fence have length

L.

In a scenario like this involving geometry, it is often helpful to draw a picture. It might also be helpful to introduce a temporary variable,

W, to represent the side of fencing parallel to the 4th side or backyard fence.

Since we know we only have 80 feet of fence available, we know that

L + W + L = 80, or more simply, 2L + W = 80. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 80 – 2L

Now we are ready to write an equation for the area the fence encloses. We know the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so

A = LW = L(80 – 2L)

A(L) = 80L – 2L2

This formula represents the area of the fence in terms of the variable length

L.

If a recipe requires 400 grams of potatoes for four people, how many kilograms would be required for 12 people?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people. That means each person will require 400 / 4 = 100 grams.

Now, we have 12 people, so the total number of grams needed will be:

(100 g/person) * (12 people) = 1200 grams

However, we want the answer in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 1200 by 1000:

1200 / 1000 = 1.2 kg

The answer is 1.2 kg.
