Carlos is arranging books on shelves. He has 32novels and 24 autobiographies. Each shelf will have the same numbers of novels and autobiographies. If Carlos must place all of the books on shelves, what are the possible numbers of shelves Carlos will use?

step-by-step explanation:

what was your answer?

area of rectangle a is 2 times that of rectangle b that means 2x+x =   36cm^2

3x = 36cm ^2

x = 36/3

x= 12cm^2

and 2x = 24cm^2

now side of square = are divided by sides = 36/4 = 6cm

that means length of rectangle a and b is 6cm too

now for rectangle a,

l*b = area

= 6*y=24

y=24/6 = 4

therefore dimensions of rectangle a are- length = 6cm, breadth = 4cm

and for rectangle b, length = 6cm and breadth = 6-4 = 2cm.

hope this .
