The length and the width of the rectangle are 20 and 14 inches respectively

<h3>How to find the length and width?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length = 6 + Width

Perimeter = 68 inches

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

So, we have:

2 * (Length + Width) = 68

Divide both sides by 2

Length + Width = 34

Substitute Length = 6 + Width in Length + Width = 34

6 + Width + Width = 34

Evaluate the like terms

2 * Width = 28

Divide both sides by 2

Width = 14

Substitute Width = 14 in Length = 6 + Width

Length = 6 + 14

Evaluate

Length = 20

Hence, the length and the width of the rectangle are 20 and 14 inches respectively

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The farmer have at first 202 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.

Now, to find the chickens farmer have at first.

Let the chickens be $x.$

And, the ducks be $y.$

As, the farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm.

So, $x=2y$ ......(1)

As, given the farmer after selling 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.

According to question:

$x-166=(y-29)\times \frac{1}{2}$

$x-166=\frac{y-29}{2}$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1) we get:

$2y-166=\frac{y-29}{2}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$4y-332=y-29$

Adding both sides 332 we get:

$4y=y+303$

Subtracting both sides by $y$ we get:

$3y=303$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$y=101.$

Now, to get the number of chickens substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1):

$x=2y\\\\x=2\times 101\\\\x=202.$

Therefore, the farmer have at first 202 chickens.
