Well first of all, that's not a square.  On a square, all 4 sides are
the same, and the length is the same distance as the width.  If the
width of a square is 6, and all four sides are the same, then the
perimeter is (4 x 6) = 24. 

So the shape in your question may be a rectangle, but it's definitely
not a square one.

The perimeter is the distance an ant has to walk if you put him down
on one corner and he walks all the way around the shape until he gets
back to where he started from. 
That's the perimeter.

If you set the ant down on the corner of a rectangle, then he walks the
length, then the width, the the length again, then the width again, and
he's back where he started.

That was 2 lengths and 2 widths ... the perimeter of every rectangle.

Take 2 widths away from the perimeter, and you have 2 lengths left.  OK ?

You said that the width of your rectangle is 6.  Two widths is 12.
Take the 2 widths away from the perimeter, and you're left with (20 - 12) = 8.
But that's 2 lengths !
So the length is half of 8  =  4 .

horsena [70]

Answer:

$0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer multiply the amount of money earned by the percentage $14.98 and 5%

turn the percentage into a decimal. divide the number of the percentage by 100 5/100=0.05

multiply this by the amount of money to get 0.05*14.98=0.749. then round answer to two decimal places to get $0.75

Subtract −7n+2 ​​from 2n−1 ​. What is the answer? A.−5n+1 B.9n−3 C.9n + 1 D.−9n+3
Ludmilka [50]
Make sure that the subtraction is set up in the correct order. We are subtracting -7+2 FROM 2n-1.

(2n-1) - (-7n+2)

Distribute the negative.

(2n-1) + (7n-2)

Combine like terms.

9n - 3

The answer is B.

Tom is going to turn little Quacker into roast duck! He goes to the grocery store to get some salt and pepper seasoning to his d
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

He can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper spent maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The cost of salt = 50 cents / scoop =$ 0.5 / scoop

The cost of pepper =75 cents / scoop = $ 0.75 / scoop

Let he buys x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper.

As he plans to bring home no more than 8 scoops of seasoning, so

x+y\leq8\cdots(i)

The total cost of x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper = 0.5x+0.75y

As he wants to spend less than $5, so

0.5x+0.75y

Here, x\geq 0, y \geq 0 and x,y are counting numbers.

On plotting the graph of equations (ii) and (ii), the possible solution is the integral values in the shaded as shown in the figure.

The maximum possible integral values, for expances less than $5, are (x,y)=(3,4), (4,3).

Hence, he can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper to spent maximum.
