Let the length of rectangle be L and the width of rectangle be W.
Since length exceeds the width by 25 inches, length will be
L = W + 25

Now the perimeter, P, is given by
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting L = W + 25 in the above equation,
P = 2(W + 25 + W)
P = 2(2W + 25)
P = 4W + 50
But P = 86 inches
P = 4W + 50 = 86
4W = 86 - 50 = 36
W = 36/4 = 9

Hence, width W = 9 inches.
Length L = W + 25 = 9 + 25 = 34 inches.

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

Original amount: 1 gallon.

What Catherine ate: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}$ gallons.
What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be $x$ gallons.

What's left: $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ gallons.

Consider the relationship:

$\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Add $x$ to both sides of this equation:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x$

Substract $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ from both sides:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x$ .

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to $3 \times 5 = 15$

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}$ .

In other words, Catherine's sister ate $\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ gallons of the ice cream.
