The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.the permitted of the rectangle is 72ft find the dimensions of the rectangle

1 answer:

4 0

Lets set up the relationship of the length to width:

l = 3w

Using this, we can make all the variables the same by substitution:

2l + 2w = perimeter
2l + 2w = 72
2(3w) + 2w = 72
6w + 2w = 72
8w = 72
w = 9

The width is 9, to the length must be 9*3, or 27.

Hope this helped!

100m In 9 3/5 seconds

Answer:

Speed = 10.42 m/secs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with:-

Distance = 100m

Time taken = 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ secs

1) First, we need to convert the mixed number 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ to an improper fraction.

Method to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction

 $a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{c*a+b}{c}$ 

Applying the above formula, we get

9 $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{5*9+3}{5}$

= $\frac{45+3}{5}$

= $\frac{48}{5}$

2) Now we need to convert $\frac{48}{5}$ into a decimal by dividing 48 by 5.

We get time taken as 9.6 secs

3) We need to find the speed using the below formula:-

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time taken}$

Plugging the values of Distance and Time taken into the formula, we get

Speed = $\frac{100}{9.6}$

= 10.416 m/secs

4) Upon rounding it to the nearest hundredth, we get

Speed = 10.42 m/secs

Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 s

Llana [10]

First, we need to work out the total number of students who were being surveyed.

We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population

That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students

Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13

The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let $x$ be the number of pets and $P(X=x)$ is the probability of owning the number of pets
