Answer:

Area = 32feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangule = 2(length+width)

Then:

g = 2w               Eq. 1

2(g+w) = 24       Eq. 2

g = length

w = width

From Eq. 2:

(2*g + 2*w) = 24

2g + 2w = 24      

2w = 24 - 2g            Eq. 3

Matching Eq. 1  and Eq. 3

g = 24 - 2g

g + 2g = 24

3g = 24

g = 24/3

g = 8 feet

From Eq. 1

g = 2w

8 = 2w

8/2 = w

w = 4 feet

Check:

From Eq. 2

2(g+w) = 24

2(8+4) = 24

2*12 = 24

Answer:

Area of a rexctangle = length * width

Then:

Area = 8feet * 4feet

Area = 32feet²

You are in charge of drinks for a community barbecue. You need to supply at least 120 cups of beverage to provide enough for the
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

You have 112 cups of beverage

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- You need to supply at least 120 cups of beverage to provide enough

 for the projected number of people that will attend

- <em><u>Assume that a cup can fill by 8 fl. oz. (American standard)</u></em>

- <em>You have received the following donations</em>

- Enough mix to make 4 gallons of lemonade

∴ You have 4 gallons of lemonade

∵ 1 gallon = 128 oz.

∴ 8 gallons = 4 × 128 = 512 oz.

∴ You have 512 oz. of lemonade

∵ You can fill one cup by 8 oz.

∴ The number of cups of lemonade = 512 ÷ 8 = 64 cups

- 6 bottles of fruit juice that each contain 64 fl. oz

∵ 6 × 64 = 384

∴ You have 384 oz. of fruit juice

∵ You can fill one cup by 8 oz.

∴ The number of cups of fruit juice = 384 ÷ 8 = 48 cups

- <em>Now add the number of lemonade cups to the number of fruit</em>

<em>  juice cups</em>

∵ There are 64 of lemonade cups

∵ There are 48 fruit juice cups

∴ The total number of cups = 64 + 48 = 112 cups

* You have 112 cups of beverage
