You have to make a tape diagram and divide it in to 9 parts because it is 5 out of 9 then you will make a bracket pointing to only 4 parts of the tape diagram then you do 36/9 and it will equal 4 so put 4 in to each part and so 4 x 4 is 16 so the answer is 16 people prefer historical books

You could draw it out such as: x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
                                             x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
                                             x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
                                             x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x

Now you have nine groups of 4 which equals 36
Now 5/9 would be five of the nine groups.  Each group have 4 students so 4 x 5 = 20 students like Adventure books.  Then take 36 - 20 = 16, which means 16 students like historical books.

54 rounded to the nearest 10 would be 50 because 54 is closer to 50 than 60.

So, the answer is 50.

a rectangular lawn has an area of a^3 - 125. use the difference of cubes to find out the dimensions of the rectangle.
ANEK [815]

The area of a rectangle is the product of its dimensions

The dimensions of the rectangle are: \mathbf{Length = a -5} and \mathbf{Width = a^2 + 5a + 25}

The area is given as:

\mathbf{Area = a^3 - 125}

Express 125 as 5^3

\mathbf{Area = a^3 - 5^3}

Apply difference of cubes

\mathbf{Area = (a - 5)(a^2 + 5a + 5^2)}

\mathbf{Area = (a - 5)(a^2 + 5a + 25)}

The area of a rectangle is:

\mathbf{Area = Length \times Width}

So, by comparison:

\mathbf{Length = a -5}

\mathbf{Width = a^2 + 5a + 25}
