The area of a rectangular field is 2275 m2. The field is enclosed by 200 m of fence. What are the dimensions of the field?
AURORKA [14]
So it is enclosed by 200 m of  fence
perimiter=200 m
it is a rectangle to
p=legnth+legnth+width+width or
p=l+l+w+w or
p=2l+2w or
p=2(l+w)
so
p=200
200=2(l+w)
divide both sides by 2
100=l+w
area=l times w
area=2275
lw=2275
l+w=100
combine and solve
l+w=100
subtract w
l=100-w
subisutute 100-w for l in other eqution
(100-w)(w)=2275
distribute
-w^2+100w=2275
add (w^2-100w) to both sides
0=w^2-100w+2275
factor
find what 2 numbers add up to -100 and multiply to get 2275
guess (or factor 2275 and find factors that add up to -100)
figure out that they are -65 and -35
0=(w-65)(w-35)
set each to zero
0=w-65
0=w-35

solve for w
w=65 or 35
65>35 so
65 m=legnth
35 m=width

Coffee with sugar and milk added to it can contain up to calories. To consume a maximum of 600 mg if caffeine per day, how many
Marina CMI [18]
We know there is 330 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce serving. So if we want 8-ounce servings:
330 mg : 2 = 165 mg
Also we have to consume a maximum of 600 mg.
165 mg * 3 = 495 mg < 600 mg
165 mg * 4 = 660 mg > 600 mg
Answer: Someone could drink 3 full 8-ounce servings in a day and still stay below the limit.

oee [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

if each the bonus is shared equally each will get 420

if 40% is shared by managers each manager will get 560

if 7 sales persons share 60% each will get 360

therefore Peter salesperson will get 360

but he thinks he will get 336 because if 420 is 125% that is including his extra 25% then hundred percent of the 420 is 336 which is not what he will get there for Janet is correct

Answer:

the answer would be 90

Step-by-step explanation:

100 giants fills 5/8 (100/160) of the theater leaving 3/8 of the theater for the elves.

3/8 times 240 elves is 90 elves.

If there were 150 elves that would also be 5/8 filled plus the original 5/8 filled with 100 giants! Some elves might suffer!!!
