Question

I need help with an area and width question!! Please help!!

Answer 1

I might be able to help what is it?

Answer 2

I am not very good at math though

Answer 3

I will type in the first part!

Mike want to build a rectangular garden box with a total area of 250 square feet. If the
length is 25 feet what must be the width?

a)Write an equation that shows the relation between the relation of the numbers using
w as the variable for width.

Answer 4

@dan815-will you look at this too?!

Answer 5

Well i think you do 25w = 250. but i am not 100% positive

Answer 6

@pooja195-- would you also look!?

Answer 7

Is that your answer for (a)--the second part of this!?

Answer 8

beyonced98--do you know this??

Answer 9

thats my answer for a, but i dont know if its right what is part b?

Answer 10

solve for w

Answer 11

well i think then you would just divide 250/25=10. but that would only cover length and width not height.

Answer 12

@ganeshie8 will you look at this please??

Answer 13

@TheSmartOne will you please help!!???

Answer 14

I will post the question again

Answer 15

Mike want to build a rectangular garden box with a total area of 250 square feet. If the
length is 25 feet what must be the width?

Answer 16

@darkbeautystar how do you find area of a rectangle?

Answer 17

you multiply the perimeter on 2 of the sides

Answer 18

please help Nnesha- i really dont understand

Answer 19

I really just need help

Answer 20

Area = Length * Width

Answer 21

Seems like Ganeshie has come to the rescue, no need for me anymore :P

Answer 22

He is offline

Answer 23

Ok

Area = length x width

area = 250
length = 25

So

250 = 25 x width

can you solve for width?

Answer 24

i can try

Answer 25

w=10ft

Answer 26

correct, so that's your width :)

Answer 27

thanks

Answer 28

then what would be this q-

Write an equation that shows the relation between the relation of the numbers using
w as the variable for width.

Answer 29

I have this q with (a)-(d)

Answer 30

i just feel the earthquake on this post

Answer 31

so pretty much 4 qs about the same thing

Answer 32

What??

Answer 33

I just need help with these 2 questions

(a)--Write an equation that shows the relation between the relation of the numbers using
w as the variable for width. <----don't know what this means

(b)--solve for length in a garden box where the area is 100 square feet and the width is
12.5 feet <---- not sure what to do

Answer 34

please help

Answer 35

for (a), I think they want you to write
length*width= area
and fill in the numbers for length and area, to get
25w = 250

Answer 36

thanks- do you know for b

Answer 37

for (b), first write down the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.

Answer 38

so w*l=a

Answer 39

@phi

Answer 40

@DatChinookGuy

Answer 41

I just need help with (b) now phi

Answer 42

** so w*l=a***
yes
now replace the letters you have numbers for. they tell you for question (b)
area is 100 square feet and the width is 12.5 feet

do you know how to do that ?

Answer 43

not really--could you teach me

Answer 44

well actually yes i think so-- 100*12.5=a

Answer 45

in
w*l= a

w is short for "width".
if you know the width is 12.5, then you can erase the "w" and put in 12.5 instead

Answer 46

ya i know

Answer 47

was my equation right

Answer 48

**well actually yes i think so-- 100*12.5=a***

that is close
but remember the "a" is area. you replace the "L" (the length)
try again

Answer 49

100*a=12.5 or 100*12.5=l

Answer 50

start with
w*L= A

now replace the w with 12.5
replace the A with 100
leave the L alone

Answer 51

12.5*100=l

Answer 52

no, go slower.
w*L= A
first, erase the w, and put in 12.5
what do you get ?

Answer 53

you get
12.5*L= A

now erase the A, and put in 100 instead
what do you get ?

Answer 54

100

Answer 55

I dont get it

Answer 56

do you understand we start with this formula
w*L= A
?
that is how you find area. It "says" width times length is area
if we had a number for width, we can replace the letter w with its number
In problem (b), they say width is 12.5

so the first step is replace the w with 12.5 in
w*L=A
can you do that ?

Answer 57

yes--12.5*l=a

Answer 58

the "w" is a place holder to remind you where to put the width (as a number)

Answer 59

yes, that is good
12.5*L= a (I am using L instead of l, because little l looks too much like one 1 )

next, problem (b) says the area is 100

in
12.5*L=a
which letter stands for area ?

Answer 60

yes i know that

Answer 61

a

Answer 62

so if you know the area is 100
where do you put the 100 in
12.5*L= a
?

Answer 63

12.5*L=100

Answer 64

yes, and that is the answer for (b)
you can also write it
12.5L= 100

because when we multiply a number times a letter, people don't bother to show the multiply sign.

Answer 65

thankyou so much- thanks for being pateint. I have more questions about different math questions but if you dont want to help you dont have to. there are only 2

Answer 66

wait!
-solve for length in a garden box

so we have to find what number L is
to do that, we start with

12.5 L = 100
and divide both sides by 12.5
\[ \frac{12.5}{12.5}L= \frac{100}{12.5} \]

Answer 67

on the left side, 12.5/12.5 is 1
so the left side becomes 1*L and that is L
what do you get for the right side?

Answer 68

1? I dont really know

Answer 69

can you do 100 / 12.5

?

divide 12.5 into 100
you can use a calculator?

Answer 70

Yes

Answer 71

8

Answer 72

so here is what you did
start with
12.5L= 100
divide both sides by 12.5
\[ \frac{12.5}{12.5}L= \frac{100}{12.5} \]
simplify both sides
\[ 1\cdot L = 8 \\ L= 8 \]

Answer 73

so is that the answer??

Answer 74

:/

Answer 75

yes. length is 8

Answer 76

so i just put l=8 ?

Answer 77

L=8

Answer 78

yes. But they may want you to show the work, which is posted up above.

Answer 79

ok--do you want to help with 2 more. or not

Answer 80

@phi

Answer 81

what is c) ?

Answer 82

c is solve for w- which i answered 10ft

Answer 83

what is the next question?

Answer 84

that is it for that question- but there are 2 totally different questions

Answer 85

which is what i tried to tell you- im sorry- i guess you didnt get that

Answer 86

can you make a new post, please ?

Answer 87

ya
