I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
Answer:
20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 part of the ratio refers to 15 units
Divide 15 by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio
15 ÷ 3 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus
4 parts = 4 × 5 = 20 units ← perimeter of larger figure
I believe that 40 ounces of meat would be 2.5 pounds of meat.
