***rectangular garden box with a total area of 250 square feet.***

focus on: rectangle and area

look up the formula for the area of a rectangle.
can you do that ?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

what is the formula ?

Answer 6

Multiplying the base * height

Answer 7

divide 250 by 25. because 25 multiplied by the width equals 250.

Answer 8

you should write the whole formula
base * height = area

next, look for numbers in the problem
for example
area of 250 square feet.
length is 25 feet

can you put those numbers in the formula?

Answer 9

Answer 10

Since your area is 250 you would divide it by 25 because length times width would be your area

L(W)=A

Answer 11

At the beginning of a week, a stock’s price is $9.40 per share. For that entire week, the stock’s price decreased at a steady rate of $0.20/day. Christine graphs the price of the stock versus time. She plots the price of the stock along the vertical axis, and she plots time in days along the horizontal axis.



What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer 12

So then-- 25ft * W = 250

Answer 13

Is that your question or mine??

Answer 14

yes
or just
25 W = 250

last step. divide both sides by 25
\[ \frac{25}{25} W = \frac{250}{25} \\ W = 10 \]
