Samantha’s mom has a koi fish pond at the corner of her backyard. Samantha wanted to install a brick walkway on two sides of the pond. Below is a picture of the pond.

a. Create an equation that can be used to solve for the width, x, of the walkway. Explain why you chose your equation. (Hint - Use the image above to aid you in creating an equation.)

b. Use any method (other than graphing) to figure out how much the width, x, of the walkway will be.

step-by-step explanation:

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
