If you have 340 things, how many groups of 17 could you form? 340/17 = 20 So 17 is 1/20th of 340. 1/20 = 0.05, or 5% To double check: 340 * .05 = ?

The width of a rectangle is 3 inches less than its length The area of the rectangle is 340 square inches What are the length and width of the retangle?

Let the length be L, then the width = L-3The area = L x W = L x (L-3) = L2-3Lthe area is 340 which = L2 - 3L, 340 = L2-3L, 340-340=L2-3L-340So, L2-3L-340 =0 Factoring this, (L-20)(L+17) = 0Set L-20 equal to zero, L-20 = 0, L-20+20=+20, L=20so, L=20 inches and width = L-3=20-3=17 inchesL=-17 is not a solution since length can't be negative.Your answer islength = 20 inches, width = 17 inches

The width of a rectangle is 3 inches less than its length the area of the rectangle is 340 square inches what are the length and width of the rectangle?

Let the width be (x-3) and the length be x: width*length = area (x-3)*x = 340 square inches x2-3x-340 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation works out as: x = -17 or x = 20 it must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative. Therefore: length = 20 inches and width = 17 inches Check: 20*17 = 340 square inches
