<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Problem:

\frac{1}{6} the sum of 16 and 20

The Process:

<u>Step-1:</u> Determine the sum of 16 and 20

\boxed{ \ 16 + 20 = 36 \ }

<u>Step-2:</u>  \frac{1}{6} the sum of 16 and 20

\frac{1}{6} of the sum of 16 and 20 means \frac{1}{6} multiply the result of adding 16 and 20.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{6} \times 36 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{36}{6} \ or \ 36 \div 6 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 6 \ }}

Thus the result is 6.

<u>Quick Steps:</u>

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{6} \times (16 + 20) \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{6} \times 36 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{36}{6} \ or \ 36 \div 6 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 6 \ }}

<u>Example:</u>

\frac{2}{3} the sum of 16 and 20?

\boxed{ \ = \frac{2}{3} \times (16 + 20) \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{2}{3} \times 36 \ }

We crossed out 3 and 36.

\boxed{ \ = 2 \times 12 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 24 \ }}

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 48 cm and the given area. Its length is 6 more than twice its width. Write and solve a sy
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 18 cm

The width of the rectangle is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=48\ cm

so

48=2(x+y) ------> equation A

x=2y+6 ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

48=2(2y+6+y)

48=2(3y+6)

48=6y+12

6y=48-12

y=36/6=6 cm

Find the value of x

x=2(6)+6=18 cm

The area of the rectangle is

A=xy

A=18*6

A=108 cm^2

37 1/2% of _________ is 36, Please help show work I am really confused.
klio [65]

Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:

Tool #1:  37-1/2 percent means 0.375

Tool #2:  In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".

====================================

Your question says

                           "37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".

Translate it with your tools:

                                  0.375  times  blank  =  36 .

Divide each side by 0.375:              Blank = 36 / 0.375 .

Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division).  Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.


To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):

Do exactly what the question says.

Multiply (0.375) times (your answer).  If you get 36,
then your answer is correct.  If not, it's not.
