The diagram below represents the measurements of Jennie’s yard. The yard’s width is x feet shorter than its length. If the area
of the yard is 540 square feet, how many feet shorter than the length is the width?
A yard with a length of 30 feet and a width of (30 minus x) feet.
Which equation represents the scenario?
30 + (30 – x) = 540
540 – 30 = 30 – x
30(30 – x) = 540
540 – (30 – x) = 30
A yard with a length of 30 feet and a width of (30 minus x) feet.
Which equation represents the scenario?
30 + (30 – x) = 540
540 – 30 = 30 – x
30(30 – x) = 540
540 – (30 – x) = 30

Answer:
She sells 4 loaves of bread
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets explain how to solve the problem
→ A baker uses cups of flour to make bread
→ She uses cups of flour to make each loaf
From these information we can find the number of loaves of bread
she can make
∵ There are cups of flour
∵ Each loaf of bread needs cups of flour
∴ The number of loaves = ÷
To divide two mixed numbers make them improper fractions and
change the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal the
fraction after the division sign
∵ =
∴ =
∵ =
∴ =
∴ The number of loaves = ×
∴ The number of loaves = 6
<em>She can make 6 loaves</em>
→ The baker sells of the loaves of bread that she makes
→ We need to find the number of loves of bread she sells
∵ She sells of the loaves
∵ There are 6 loves
∴ The number of loaves she sells = 6 × = 4
<em>She sells 4 loaves of bread</em>
