Two rectangular picture frames have the same area of 45 square inches but have different side lengths. Frame A has a length of 6 inches, and Frame B has a length of 7 inches. 1. Without calculating, predict which frame has the shorter width. Explain your reasoning. 2. Find the width that you predicted to be shorter. Show your reasoning.

  1. the longer frame (B) has the shorter width

  2. the shorter width is 6 3/7 inches, area divided by length

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between area, length, and width is ...

  A = LW

Then the width is ...

  W = A/L . . . . .  inversely proportional to length

__

1. Since length and width are inversely proportional (when area is constant), the shorter width will be associated with the longer length. Frame B will have the shorter width.

__

2. The width of frame B is ...

  W = A/L = (45 in²)/(7 in) = 45/7 in = 6 3/7 in

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
