Answer:

The plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is 6 inches = 4 months, and that may not sound like much but we can get the answer just from that tidbit.

Cross multiply :

$\frac{6 inches}{4 months}$ = $\frac{x}{10 months}$

4x = 60

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x = 15.

Therefore the plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months. Please mark brainliest! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

A golden rectangle is a rectangle whose length is approximately 1.6 times its width.the early greeks thought that a rectangle wi

Scrat [10]

Mike has 78 feet of fencing available for his garden, this is the perimeter (P) of the rectangle:
Perimeter: P=78 feet

The formula of Perimeter is:
P=2(W+L), where W is the width and L is the length, then:

P=78→2(W+L)=78
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2(W+L)/2=78/2
W+L=39

If the shape is of a golden rectangle, we know:
L=1.6W
Replacing this above:
W+1.6W=39
Adding similar terms:
2.6W=39
Solving for W
2.6W/2.6=39/2.6
W=15 feet

L=1.6W=1.6(15)→L=24 feet

Answer: T<span>he dimensions of the garden are: Width=15 feet and Length=24 feet. </span>
