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)

Farmer Green sent his two children out to count the hens and sheep. His daughter counted 40 hens, and his son counted 100 legs.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

40 hens, 5 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

40 x 2 = 80 (hens have 2 legs)

100 - 80 = 20 ----> 20 legs left for sheep,, sheep have 4 legs

20/4 = 5 so there are 5 sheep

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?
lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
