Set the height to h, and the width to w.
We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.
Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:
w(2w-1)=190
So:
2w^2-w-190=0
Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0. The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.
There are approximately 4 weeks per month.
Mr. Gleason will take home 1100 x 4 weeks = $4,400 per month.
The total budget - his take home pay is the amount his wife will need to make:
5,600 - 4,400 = $1,200
Now divide the total amount she needs to make by how much she brings home per hour:
1,200 / 10 = 120
She needs to work 120 hours per month.
The answer is D.
Should be 22%. When trying to convert a decimal to a percent just move the decimal point two places to the right. Ex: .07 = 7% or 1.11 = 111%
There are none that work, the only close two are 3 and 24 + 2 and 25, but they multiply to 72 and 50, but if you can use decimals, you could use 2.445+24.555
What is the question you need help with?
