Let x be the original side length of the square
P=2(l+w)
70=2((2.5+x)+(2.5+x))
70=2(5+2x)
70/2 = 5+2x
35-5=2x
30=2x
15=x
Therefore, the original length of the square was 15"
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
8/12 of the can
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominator of both 12. Then 2/3 is 8/12.
Answer:
27 and 32.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be A and B.
The larger number (let's use B) is 5 more than the smaller one (A). In other words:
Their sum is 59. So:
This is a system of equations. Solve by substituting the first equation into the second. Thus:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
So, the smaller number is 27.
This means that the bigger number is 27+5=32.
So, the two numbers are 27 and 32.
And we're done!
Unknown if you wanted to be clever
on average means typically so there is data called "outliers"
Moreover it doesn't say what average percent of the day and it doesn't mention the planet, namely Earth..
there could be sloths on other planets and those other planets are likely to have different hours in the day.
I don't know if I am right but I think this is the answer:
If we write beaker with x and content with y
then y=56.8/2=28.4 this is the content of one beaker
so there are two beakers:
2x+28.4=180.4
2x=180.4-28.4
2x=152/2
x=76
