Step-by-step explanation:
Yes. Changing the the word problem into a function, you get 30x=y.
30 = Fixed Length
x = width
y = area
No matter what width (x) you choose, the area (y) is going to be a multiple of 30 (the fixed length) because with two numbers being multiplied, if there is a fixed number that will always be the multiple and not the multiplier. For example, 10 multiplied by every number 1-10 is going to be a multiple of 10.
10x1=10, 10x2=20, 10x3=30, etc
So if Tom chooses any of these widths (x) 5, 10, or 15, y (the area) will be a multiple of 30.
30(5)=150
30(10)=300
30(15)=450
So as we double 5 to get 10, our outcome is doubled 150 to 300 and so forth. Hope this helps.
The piece Zoe cut off would be 1 and 5/12 ft long.
5 and 1/4 - 3 and 5/6
The least common denominator is 24.
5 and 6/24 - 3 and 20/24
5 and 6/24 becomes 4 and 30/24
4 and 30/24 - 3 and 20/24 = 1 and 10/24
1 and 10/24 can be simplified to 1 and 5/12.
