The width of a rectangle is 2/5 its length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 42<br> meters.
Olin [163]

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:

•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.

•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.

42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.

•l= 15.

Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.

Based on the circle graph how many pounds of milk and eggs does the average American consume each year PLS EXPLAIN FOR BRAINLEST
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

H.  552

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle graph information:

  • Milk and eggs = x%
  • Fruits and vegetables = 38%
  • Cereals = 10%
  • Meat and fish = 10%
  • Sugar = 8%
  • Fats and oils = 4%

Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person

First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).

Total percentages = 100%

⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100

⇒ x + 70 = 100

⇒ x = 30

Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.

To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:

= 30% of 1840

= 30% × 1840

=\sf \dfrac{30}{100} \times 1840

= 552

Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.
