10 inches x 8 inches.

You can get this by creating two equations.

xy = 80 and 2x + 2y = 36

Then you can solve the first one for either variable. Once you do that you can substitute it into the other equation and solve. You'll get a quadratic equation which will give you both parts of the answer.

Answer:

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular cutting has a perimeter of 36 inches . The area is 80 inches². The dimension can be solved as follows :

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2b

where

l = length

b = breadth

36 = 2l + 2b..............(i)

Area of a rectangle = l × b = lb

80 = lb........................(ii)

l = 80/b

Insert the value of l in equation (i)

36 = 2(80/b) + 2b

36 = 160/b + 2b

36 = (160 + 2b²)/b

cross multiply

36b = 160 + 2b²

2b² - 36b + 160 = 0

b² - 18b + 80 = 0

(b - 8)(b - 10)

b = 8 or b = 10

let us insert b in equation (ii)

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = l8

l = 80/8

l = 10

or if we insert b =10

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = 10l

l = 8

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

Answer:

Fourth option.

Sixth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

- Any number you can find on the number line, is a Real number.

- Integers contains positive numbers, negative numbers and zero. Every Integer is a Rational number.

- A Rational number is that number that can be written in the following form:

$\frac{a}{b}$

Where "a" and "b" are integers ( $b\neq 0$ ).

- An Irrational number cannot be written as a simple fraction.

- A Whole number is any of the numbers { ${0, 1, 2, 3...}$ }. Every Whole number is a Rational number.

- Natural numbers contain the set of positive integers{ ${1, 2, 3...}$ } or to the set of nonnegative integers { ${0, 1, 2, 3...}$ }, Every Natural number is a Rational number.

Based on this, since $\frac{5}{9}$ is in the form $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a=5$ and $b=9$ , it is a Rational Number and therefore a Real number.

I think Mr. Han is around the 60 or 70 age.

I am really sorry that I couldn't answer this problem. Try starting with 21 and multiply that by 3. To check if you can do it, add 43 to the number you multiply 3 with. Again, i am really sorry that i only wrote a hint. Good luck finding the answer!

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

At a display booth at an amusement park, every visitor gets a gift bag

according to these information:

1. Hat Every 2nd visitor

2. T-shirt Every 7th visitor

3. Backpack Every 10th visitor

We need to know how often a bag will contain all three items

To solve this problem you must find a number divisible by 2, 7, and 10

To find that number start with the multiples of the largest one and

check them with the other two numbers

∵ The largest number is 10

∵ The multiples of 10 are 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , 80 , .......

- Look for the first multiple of 10 is divisible by 7

∵ 70 is the first multiple of 10 divisible by 7

∵ 70 is divisible by 2 because its even number

∴ 70 is the smallest number divisible by 2, 7 and 10

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags
