The length of a rectanglr exceeds its width by 5 inches, and the area is 84 square inches. what are the length and width of a a rectangle

The area is the product of length and width, which is to say that the length and width are factors of the area.

Assuming the dimensions are integers, you want factors of 84 that differ by 5.

... 84 = 1×84 = 2×42 = 3×28 = 4×21 = 6×14 = 7×12

The last of these pairs differ by 5, so ...

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
