Above is right thinkso Thanks
Answer:
width = 10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of width to length is 2 : 5 = 2x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )
the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as
P = 2 × width + 2 × length
given P = 70 then
2(2x) + 2(5x) = 70
4x + 10x = 70
14x = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )
x = 5
Then
width = 2x = 2 × 5 = 10 cm and length = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 cm

Answer:
3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be a 1 in 4 chance
x=11.4242....
100x=1142.4242....
100x-x = 99x = 1131
x=1131/99 = 11 42/99 (unreduced) = 11 14/33 (reduced fraction)
