Answer:

The dimension of the vegetable garden farm is 9 feet by 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the dimensions of vegetable garden that is rectangular in shape.

Let the width of the garden be x feet, since the length of the garden is 4 feet longer, the length thus have a measure of (x + 4) feet

we have the value of the area, meaning multiplying the length and the width will yield that area

x(x + 4) = 45

x^2 + 4x -45 = 0

x^2 +9x -5x -45 = 0

x(x + 9) -5(x + 9) = 0

(x-5)(x+9) = 0

x = 5 or -9

we ignore the negative and width cannot be negative

Thus, x = 5 feet

Length = x + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9 feet

A disc has a diameter of centimeters while a mini disc has a diameter of centimeters. Write the ratio of the mini disc diameter

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A disc has a diameter of 21 cm while a mini disc has a diameter of 14cm. Write the ratio of the mini disc diameter to the disc diameter.

Answer: Let the diameter of the mini disc be $d_1$ while the diameter of the disc be $d_2$ . To get the ratio of the mini disc diameter to the disc diameter, we just simply have to divide the diameter of the mini disc by the diameter of the disc and then represent the fraction in ratio form. The ratio of the disc diameters is given by:

Ratio of the mini disc diameter to the disc diameter = Diameter of mini disc / diameter of disc

Ratio of the mini disc diameter to the disc diameter = $\frac{14}{21}=\frac{2}{3}$

Ratio of the mini disc diameter to the disc diameter = 2 : 3

Does anyone know the answer to this scale and unit conversion GED math problem? Thank you very much!

Answer:

Flour $5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $2$

Baking powder $7\ t$

Vanilla extract $3\ t$

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be 16 people at the party. Each person will eat 3 cookies, so all people will eat $16\cdot 3=48$ cookies.

Given cookie recipe makes 24 cookies, so to make 48 cookies you need

$48:24=2$ portions.

Thus,

1 portion 2 portions

Flour $2 \dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $2\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=2\cdot 2+\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=4+\dfrac{3}{2}=4+1 \dfrac{1}{2}=5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $1\dfrac{1}{3}\ c$ $1\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=2+\dfrac{2}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $\dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $1$ $1\cdot 2=2$

Powder $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $3\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=3\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=6+1=7\ t$

Vanilla $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=2+1=3\ t$
