Answer:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(5x−1)(3x−5)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
5x−1=0 or 3x−5=0
x=
1
/5
or x=
5
/3
You would say 1/48=28/x and solve the proportion to get an answer of 1344 inches, which is 112 feet.
1800 boxes with 24 candies each
Total = 1800 * 24 = 43 200 candies
The machine makes 600 candies in 1 minute
1 candy would take (1/600) minute
43 200 candies would take 43200 * 1/600 = 72
= 72 minutes.
Therefore the 1800 boxes would be done in 72 minutes.
The exercise is basiacally asking for the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its dimensions, so we have
