The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet for the garden

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and four angles in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The area of a rectangle = Length * breadth

Given that length of garden = 16 ft., width of garden = 12 ft.

It is surrounded by a mulch of width x, hence:

New length = 16 + x + x = 16 + 2x

New width = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

The area of garden = 16 + 2x(12 + 2x) = 192 + 56x + 4x²

Since the maximum area is 285 ft, hence:

192 + 56x + 4x² = 285

4x² + 56x - 93 = 0

x = 1.5 feet

The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet

Based on the plots, the statement that gives is a valid comparison of the number of candies in the bags of the two Brands is:

B. The number of candies in the bags from Brand B is greater and less consistent than the number of candies in the bags from Brand A.

Dots in Brand B are scattered and whereas dots in Brand A are not and they are more concentrated between 52 to 55 range.

At a water park, 27 out of 90 tickets sold were child tickets. what percentage of the tickets were child tickets?

Alik [6]

You do 27 divided by 90 27/90=0.3 and then move the decimal two places which would give you 30%

2) Larger triangle is twice as large as the smaller one so x is 16
3) 16/12.8= 1.25 (This is the scale factor)
for y: 10/1.25=8
for x: 30/1.25=16
4) 8/6.4=1.25 (Scale factor)
for y: 14/1.25=11.2
for x: 15/1.25= 12
5) 22.5/9= 2.5 (scale factor)
for x: 12x2.5=30
for y: 35/2.5= 14
6) No because the scale factor is 2 but 14/8 does not equal to 2

Help ASAP need explanation

Hi!

So, it looks like you're doing ratios.

Let's look at 9). If the model car is 4 inches long, and 1 inch equals 4 feet, than the actual car is 16 feet long. We know this because 4x4=16.

11) is also just as simple. If 1 cm is 11 km, and the two cities are 99 km apart, then on the map they are 9 cm apart. 11x9 is 99.

13) This is a 1:2 ratio. Basically, the flagpole's shadow is half of its height. You half the man's height to get a 3 foot shadow.

And, finally, 15)- if the model is 4 inches to the real life train's 3 feet, the actual train is 120 ft long, given that the model is 40 in long. 40x3=120.

I hope this helps! :)
