Wow you're so smart and quickFrankenstein wrote:Hi,
(1/r) = (1/x)+(1/y) = (x+y)/xy
So, r = xy(x+y)
Hence, D
But can you explain for me more about reciprocals? I have no idea about this. Thanks so much!!!!

Call X total rooms => rented rooms = 3X/4 => not rented rooms = X/4
Then, we have AC rooms: 3X/5 => rented rooms with AC: (2/3)*(3X/5) = 2X/5
Thus, we have not rented rooms with AC: 3X/5 - 2X/5 = X/5
As a result, (X/5)/(X/4) = 0.8 = 80%
Answer: E
Hope it's useful

Because the area of ABCD is 25, so each side is 5. Then call the larger sides are a; the smaller sides are b And call x is the area of the smaller one => the area of the larger is 9x Therefore, we have: a^2= 9x => a b^2= x => b => a + b= 5 => we have x => finally, we figure out b= 5/4 IMO B

I think we just need to replace x by 1.5 and because 1.5 > 0. Thus,
f(1.5)= |1.5| + |1.5 - 2|= 1.5 + (2 - 1.5)= 2
