Decide whether the rates are equivalent. 24 laps in 6 minutes 72 laps in 18 minutes

1 answer:

7 0

Yes they are equivalent.

24÷6 = 4 that is equivalent

72÷18 = 4 that is equivalent

Equivalent means equal or same

The two math problems are both equivalent they were equal to each other

Michelle is building a rectangular landing strip for airplanes .She has material to cover 1/1,500 of a square mile. The landing

ANEK [815]

I think that the missing word here is:
"with the amount of the material that Michelle has"

Let's say that her landing strip is x miles long, then its area would be:

$\frac{1}{6} *x$

We also know how big it is:

$\frac{1}{6} *x= \frac{1}{1 500}$

now, let's multiply both sides by 6:
$\frac{6}{6} *x= \frac{6}{1 500}$
$1 *x= \frac{3}{750}$
$x= \frac{1}{250}$

So the answer is that it would be $x= \frac{1}{250}$ miles wide

The length of a rectangle is 5 ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50 ft². Find the dimensions

Mariulka [41]

Answer

Length = 10 ft

Width = 5 ft

Explanation

Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²

Let the width of the rectangle be x

So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5

What to find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step solution:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

i.e A = L x W

Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

$\begin{gathered} 50=(3x-5)x \\ 50=3x^2-5x \\ 3x^2-5x-50=0 \end{gathered}$

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

$\begin{gathered} 3x^2-5x-50=0 \\ 3x^2-15x+10x-50=0 \\ 3x(x-5)+10(x-5)=0 \\ (3x+10)(x-5)=0 \\ 3x+10=0\text{ }or\text{ }x-5=0 \\ 3x=-10\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \\ x=-\frac{10}{3}\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \end{gathered}$

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:
