50% can also be written as (1/2)

Multiply the two known values:

24 x (1/2)

This is equal to (24/2). Simplify the fraction by dividing:

(24/2) = 12

12 dog owners own a pug.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

the answer would be p= -4

13-3p = -5(3+2p)

13-3p = -15-10p

13 = -15-7p

A rectangle has a perimeter of 56 in. The length is four more than the width. What are the length and width of the rectangle
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Width = 12 in

Length = 16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the Width of the rectangle = w in

Now, the length of the rectangle = (w + 4) in

Now, Perimeter = 56 in

Also, we know that

Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2 (Length +Width)

or, 2 (Length +Width) = 56

⇒ 2(w + 4 +w) = 56

or, 4w =56 -8

width  = 12 in

So, Length = w + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 in

Miss Stevens drove through a total of 36 intersections on her way home from work last week at four of every 16 intersections Mis
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

8 intersections

Step-by-step explanation:

Miss Stevens drove through a total of 36 intersections on her way home from work last week.

At four of every 16 intersections Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light before she could drive through .

This is calculated as:

36 intersections ÷ 16 intersections

= 2 4/16

= 2 1/4

At four of every 16 intersections Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light before she could drive through .

4 of every 16 intersections = stop for a red light

Hence:

16/4 = 4 intersections

Hence: 4 intersections = 1 stop for a read

The number of intersections that Miss Stevens had to stop for a red light is:

2 × 4 intersections = 8 intersections

Will mark brainliest!<br> What is the value of u?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

u=32

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

Those are a pair of complementary angles we can tell because it has a square at the angle.

When angles are complementary they add up to 90

So given one angle we subtract that by 90 to find the missing angle

90-58=32

therefore u = 32

Solve this equation by first dividing both sides by 2<br><br> 2(x + 12) = 4x -6
NikAS [45]

Hello!

In order to solve this equation, you need to divide both sides by 2:

\bf{2(x+12)=4x-6}

\bf{x+12=2x-3}

Hope it helps! :)

Have a great day!
