/. Janet makes homemade dolls. Currently, she produces 23 dolls per month. If she
increased her production by 18%, how many dolls would Janet produce each month? -
Answer-First, calculate 18% of 23.
23 × 0.18 = 4.14
Then, add this value (the increase) to the original value of 23.
23 + 4.14 = 27.14
Rounding off, we get 27.
/.What is the formula for Area? - Answer-Area = L*W
/.Bill's new porch is rectangular, with an area of 50 square feet. If the length of the porch
is two times the width, what is the perimeter of the porch? - Answer-The formula for the
area of a rectangle:
A = Width * Length
From the question we know that L = 2W and that A = 50. So we can plug these values
into our equation and solve for W:
50 = W * L
50 = W * 2W
50 = 2W²
W² = 25
W=5
We know that L = 2W, so L = 10
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Perimeter = 2 * 10 + 2 * 5
Perimeter = 30
/.Diego's current age is five times Martina's age ten years ago. If Martina is currently m
years old, what is Diego's current age in terms of m? - Answer-Martina's age ten years
ago is:
m − 10
So Diego's age is:
5(m − 10)
= 5m − 50
