Answer:

16.5 hours will it take her to drink 4 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

As per the statement:

Hye Lim drank 4/3 gallons of water in 11/2 hours.

We have to find how long will it take her to drink 4 gallons of water

let x be time in hours will it take her to drink 4 gallons of water

then by definition of proportion,

\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{11}{2}} = \frac{4}{x}

By cross multiply we have;

\frac{4}{3}x = \frac{11}{2} \cdot 4

Simplify:

\frac{4}{3}x =22

Divide both side by \frac{3}{4} we have;

x = \frac{66}{4} = \frac{33}{2} =16.5 hours

Therefore, 16.5 hours will it take her to drink 4 gallons of water

4/3=1.33 of a gallon

11/2=5.5 hours

4÷1.33=3.008

3.008×5.5=16.544

16.5 hours

Let L be the length
Let w be the width
Let p be the perimeter
L+w+L+w=p
L=w+20
3L+2w+3L+2w=240
Sub the first equation in for L in the second equation and solve for w
3(w+20)+2w+3(w+20)+2w=240
3w+60+2w+3w+60+2w=240
10w+120=240
10w=240-120
10w=120
W=120/10
W=12
Sub w into the first equation and solve for L
L=w+20
L=12+20
L=32
Hope this helps!
