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

What is 04.151515... into a fraction

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 4.\overline{15} = \frac{137}{33}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by separating this decimal number into its integer part and its fraction part:

$4.151515\cdots = 4 + 0.151515\cdots$

The most challenging task here is to express $0.151515\cdots$ as a proper fraction. Once that fraction is found, expressing the original number $4.151515\cdots$ will be as simple as rewriting a mixed number as an improper fraction.

Let $x = 0.151515\cdots$ . $(x + 4)$ would then represent the original number.

Note that the repeating digits appear in groups of two. Therefore, if the digits in $x$ are shifted to the left by two places, the repeating part will continue to match:

$\begin{aligned}x = 0.&151515\cdots && \\ 100\, x = 15.& 151515\cdots \end{aligned}$ .

Note, that this "shifting" is as simple as multiplying the initial number by $100$ (same as $10$ raised to the power of the number of digits that needs to be shifted.)
