Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
Add up all the rainfall amounts and divide by 11
The answer to this question is A.-1/12
Answer:
4951 students
Step-by-step explanation:
If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:
99 * 50 = 4950
We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.
The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.
So, using this idea, we see that:
we need at least 1 more to ensure this
So, min number required would be
4950 + 1 = 4951
