P = 2(L + W)
P = 150
L = 5W + 7
150 = 2(5W + 7 + W)
150 = 2(6W + 7)
150 = 12W + 14
150 - 14 = 12W
136 = 12W
136/12 = W
11.33 (or 11 1/3) = W <=== width
L = 5W + 7
L = 5(34/3) + 7
L = 170/3 + 7
L = 170/3 + 21/3
L = 191/3 (or 63 2/3) = L <=== length
Divide the numerator and the denominator of the given rate by the denominator of the given rate. so in this case, divide the numerator and denominator of 70/5 by 5 to get 14/1 or 14 students per class
X/8 + 12 = 16
start by subtracting twelve from both sides
x/8 + 12 = 16
- 12 -12
You're left with x/8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 8
8× x/8 = 4 ×8
Your answer is x = 32
If you need to simplify, the answer is 2.
If there's 21 spoons and 27 forks than there are 48 utensils, and the ratio of spoon to total stilis is 21/48, and if you reduce that it is 7/16. So your answer is B. 7/16.<span />
