Question is not very clear, however answers will reflect numbers seen(with some assumptions since some questions are not entirely complete)
Answer and explanation:
1. If a rectangle has an area of 35 meters and width of 78 meters, what is the length
Given that area of rectangle is length *width
Let's call length x
We have the equation
78*x=35
78x=35/78
x= 0.449
Therefore length =0.449 meters
2. Greg wants to divide a 712 yard long ribbon into pieces of 14 yard long each.
How many pieces can he make?
Let's assume the ribbon is a square then it's area is 712*712= 506944
To find number of 14 yard long pieces from the 712 yard long ribbon, we first find area for 14 yard long ribbons= 14*14= 196
number of 14 yard long pieces from the 712 yard long ribbon= 506944/196
= 2586.449 pieces
3. Olivia has 23 minutes an hour to write thank you notes. It takes her 12 minutes of an hour per thank you note. How many can she write?
Since it takes Olivia 12 minutes to write thank you notes but she has 23 minutes to write one, in one hour(1 hour =60minutes) she would be able to write
60 minutes /12 minutes = 5 thank you notes instead of
60 minutes /23 minutes= 2.609 or 2 thank you notes
4. Jim has 14 cups of nuts. How much of the recipe can he make?
If recipe requires 7 cups of nuts for instance, Jim would be able to make 14/7 = 2 of the recipe
