Answer:

The length of the rectangle (l) = 10 cm

The width of the rectangle (w) = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Let 'x' be the length of the rectangle

Given that the width is 3 feet shorter than the length

The width of the rectangle = x -3

Area of the rectangle = length × width

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

Area of the rectangle = length × width

                                  = x ( x-3)

Given that the area of the rectangle = 70 square feet

                       x ( x-3) = 70

              ⇒   x² - 3x - 70 =0

              ⇒  x² - 10 x + 7 x - 70 =0

             ⇒  x (x -10) +7( x-10) =0

            ⇒ ( x+7) ( x-10) = 0

           ⇒  x =-7 and x=10

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u>-

we choose x=10

The length of the rectangle (l) = 10 cm

The width of the rectangle (w) = 7 cm

Write 3/5 as a division
ollegr [7]

Answer:

3/5 as a division is 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a fraction as a division, we basically divide the values, since the fraction represents a division.

In this question:

We want 3 divided by 5.

3 is less than 5, so we can multiply 3 by 10(getting 30), and adding a 0 to the quotient.

So now 0.(30/5) = 0.6, which means that 3/5 as a division is 0.6.

Change 45 min to .75 hrs

Distance = speed * time

Train A's distance = 55(t+.75)

Train B's distance = 70t

The equation

D(t) = 70t + 55(t+.75)
