Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the width.

length = x +2

Perimeter = 36 ft

2*( x +2 + x ) =36

2x + 2 = 36/2

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 18 -2 = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8 ft

Width = 8 ft

Length = 8 + 2 = 10 ft

If there are approximately 1.8 million cars in Vancouver and if each car travels an average of 17,500 kilometres in a year, how

Goryan [66]

Rates are used to measure a quantity over another.

The 1.8 million cars use $1.85 \times 10^{10}$ liters each year

Given

$Cars = 1.8\ million$

$d = 17500km$ --- distance

$r = 40miles/gallon$

First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car

$r = \frac{d}{n}$

Solve for n

$n = \frac{d}{r}$

So, we have:

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles/gallon}$

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles}gallon$

Convert miles to kilometers

$n = \frac{17500km}{40km \times 1.60934}gallon$

$n = \frac{17500km}{64.3738km}gallon$

$n = 271.85\ gallon$

The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:

$N = n \times cars$

$N = 271.85 \times 1.8\ million$

$N = 489330000$

Convert to liters

$N = 489330000 \times 3.78541L$

$N = 1852314675.3L$

In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:

$N = 1.85 \times 10^{10}L$

Hence, the number of liters used is $1.85 \times 10^{10}$

What is the greatest common factor GCF of 10 and four

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Take the numbers 50 and 30. Their greatest common factor is 10, since 10 is the greatest factor that both numbers have in common. To find the GCF of greater numbers, you can factor each number to find their prime factors, identify the prime factors they have in common, and then multiply those together.
