Let width of rectangle be "x"
L= 3x W=x
if width is diminished by 1 that means new width = (x-1)
similarly the new length would be (3x+3)
hence (x-1)*(3x+3)=72
(3x^2)-3=72
3x^2=75
x^2=25
x= +/- 5
reject -5 as you cant have negative length
hence x=5
so original dimensions of rectangle is
L= 15m W=5m
Hi there! To turn a mixed number into a improper fraction we multiply 1 by 3 and add 2. 1 2/3=1×3+2/3=5/3. Therefore, 1 2/3 as an improper fraction is 5/3.
6 1/2
First you find a common denominator. 1/4 = 3/12 and 1/3 = 4/12.
3/12 + 4/12 + 11/12 = 18/12.
18/12 = 6 6/12 = 6 1/2
7/8 / 2/5 is equal to 7/8 x 5/2 which equals 35/16, 16 goes into 35 twice so there are 2 wholes there is a remaining of 3 so we put it as a fraction over 16
the answer is 2 3/16
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times 3 is 9
2 yimes 5 is 10
9 times 2 is 18
18-10 is 8
