1. Let's call:
x: the width of the walkway.
b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
h: 2x+32 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
2. The area of a rectangle is:
A=(b)(h)
b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)
3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
4x^2+96x-412=0
4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
x=3.71
The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft
You have to convert the percent into a decimal before you convert it into a fraction then you simplify the fraction.
Hope this helps! :)
<h3>Answer:</h3>
D
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The graph of |x| opens upward. Your graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 3 and translated downward 1 unit.
Graphs B and D open upward, but only graph D is translated downward (not upward, as in B).
Answer:
I think it is the second one because -4 is the least
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5/12 barrel/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Type this as a fraction:
(1/6) barrel
--------------------
(2/5) hours
Division by 2/5 is equivalent to multiplication by 5/2:
1 5
--- barrel * -------------- = 5/12 barrel/hour
6 2 hours
Alternatively, this problem could be done using decimal fractions:
0.1667 barrel
-------------------- = 0.416666 barrel/hour = 5/12 barrel/hour
0.4 hours
