The area of this rectangle is 80ft^2. What is the length and width.Width: X+16
Length: X

What is X for Width?
What is X for Length?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: area=LW
80=area
L=x+16
W=x
80=(x+16)(x)
80=x^2+16x
minus 80
0=x^2+16x-80
factor
0=(x-4)(x+20)
set to zero
x-4=0
x=4

x+20=0
x=-20, false since you can't have negative degrees (except in trig)

x=4

legnth=4+16=20 ft

width=4ft

x=4
legnth=20ft
width=4ft

Para preparar una empanada hay que añadir, entre otros ingredientes, 1/4 kg de atún, 1/6 kg de cebolla, 1/8 kg de pimiento rojo y 2/5 kg de tomates. a) Para una fiesta queremos llevar seis empanadas, ¿qué cantidad de cada ingrediente necesitaremos? b) Con 2 kg de pimiento rojo, ¿cuántas empanadas podríamos hacer?

Answers

Answer:

a. 1.5 kg of tuna, 1 kg of onion, 0.75 kg of red pepper and 2.4 kg of tomatoes

b. 16 empanadas

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each of these ingredients is needed and the recipe is for a single empanada, each ingredient in the recipe must be multiplied by 6 since they are 6 empanadas, like this:

1/4 kg tuna * 6 = 6/4 = 3/2 kg tuna

1/6 kg of onion * 6 = 6/6 = 1 kg of onion

1/8 kg of red pepper * 6 = 6/8 = 3/4 kg of red pepper

2/5 kg of tomatoes * 6 = 12/5 kg of tomatoes

Therefore 1.5 kg of tuna, 1 kg of onion, 0.75 kg of red pepper and 2.4 kg of tomatoes need it.

Now, with 2 kg of red pepper, what we should do is divide this quantity by the quantity for a recipe, like this:

2 / (1/8) = 16

that is to say that with 2 kg of red pepper, a total of 16 empanadas would be made

Explain.

Answers

(5a-b)(5a+8b)=(5a*5a)+(5a*8b)+(-b*5a)+(-b*8b)=25a^2+40ab-5ab-8b^2=25a^2+25ab-8b^2
(5a - b)(5a + 8b)
5a(5a + 8b) - b(5a + 8b)
5a(5a) + 5a(8b) - b(5a) - b(8b)
25a² + 40ab - 5ab - 8b²
25a² + 35ab - 8b²

In a toy store, the ratio of the Barbie doll to Ken doll is 9:3. If the store has 240 dolls, how many Barbie dolls are there in the store?

Answers

Answer:

180 barbie dolls

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of Barbie doll to Ken doll is 9:3, then there are 9x Barbie dolls and 3x Ken dolls in the store. Since the total number of dolls is 240, we can write the following equation:

9x + 3x = 240

Combining like terms, we get:

12x = 240

Dividing both sides by 12, we get:

\sf (12x)/(12)=(240)/(12)

x = 20

Therefore, there are 9 × 20 = 180 Barbie dolls in the store.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Barbie to Ken dolls is 9:3. This ratio can be further simplified using the greatest common factor. 3 is the GCF between 9 and 3, so you divide both sides of the ratio by 3:

(9)/(3):(3)/(3)

= 3 : 1

Meaning for every 3 Barbie dolls in the store, there is 1 Ken doll.

If the total number of dolls in the store is 240, we can use the ratio to find how many of each doll there are.

You need to add the two numbers in the ratio => 3 + 1 = 4

Then use the Barbie doll ratio side as a numerator for a fraction, divided by the total sample space, 4 => 3/4

Then multiply this fraction by the total number of dolls in the store:

(3)/(4)*240 = 180

Therefore, there are 180 Barbie dolls in the store
