We know that the area is 20.

Since 20 is a small number: lets list out possible combinations of lengths and widths.

1 * 20

2 * 10

4 * 5

L = 7 + 3w

lets see which on makes sense.

L = 7 + 3w

20 = w7 + 3w^2

3w^2 + 7w -20 = 0

(3w - 10)(w - 2)

w can equal 10/3 or 2.

So the dimensions: are Width = 2 Length = 10

If the spinner below is spun twice, find the probability that it lands on N, then a vowel.<br><br>

gogolik [260]

Answer:

0.29 or 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 options per spin. Of which 3 vowels.

For 2 spins, total spins is 14.

conditions:

First spin is 1/7

Second spin is 3/7

so,

4/14 = 0.29 or 29% I think

Current law requires that wheelchair ramps have a height to length ratio of 1:12. An old ramp has a height to length ratio of 2:

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The new ramp must be 54 inches long than the old ramp to meet the requirement of the new law

Step-by-step explanation:

Old height to length ratio is:

h : l = 2 : 15.

Height of old ramp h = 12

Length of old ramp can be find out by putting h = 12 in the above ratio

$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{2}{15}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{2}{15}\\\\l = 90$

Length of old ramp = 90

Height to length ratio by current law:

h : l = 1 : 12

Height will be the same i.e. h = 12

$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\l = 144$

Length of new ramp = 144

How much longer the new ramp should be to meet the new ratio law:

New length - Old length = 144 - 90 = 54 inches
