Answer: 51.4275 or 51.428571 (repeating decimals) feet

Step-by-step explanation:

P = perimeter

L = length

W = width

Represent W as  \frac{3}{4} L

Find L

P = 2L + 2W

240 = 2L + 2(\frac{3}{4}L)

240 = 2L + \frac{3}{2} L  or you can write 3/2 as 1.5

240 = 2L + 1.5L

240 = 3.5L

\frac{240}{3.5} L = \frac{3.5L}{3.5}

L =  ≈ 68.57 or 68.571428 (but this is <em>repeating decimals</em> so I rounded it)

Find W

\frac{3}{4} L

\frac{3}{4}  * 68.57 = 51.4275

Or if you want unrounded version 51.428571 (repeating decimals)

klasskru [66]

Given, Customers pay $4 to enter the pumpkin patch.

And also given, customers pay $3 per pound for the pumpkins.

Given, $y be the total cost and there are x pounds of pumpkins.

The cost for pumpkin per pound = $3.

Therefore, the cost for x pound pumpkins = $(3x)

As the total cost includes the payment for entering the patch also,

So the total cost y = 3x + 4

We have got the required equation.

The equation to model the total cost is y = 3x+4.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is

28/8 = 7/2

We take the ratio of the larger side over the smaller side

Using ratios we can find the sides

28         21

----- = ---------

8           x

Using cross products

28x = 21*8

28x =168

Divide each side by 28

28x/28 = 168/28

x =6

Goryan [66]

Answer:

D. $680

Step By Step Explanation:

100 pages are typed. Each page coast $5 to type.

100 x 5 = 500

40 pages are revised once. It costs $3 to revise a page once.

40 x 3 = 120

10 pages are revised twice. It costs $3 to revise a page once so it will cost $6 to revise it twice

10 x 6 = 60

To find the total cost we add all the amounts together

500 + 120 + 60 = 680

The final answer is $680
