Answer: The perimeter is 30ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

L = length of the longer side.

S = length of the shorter side.

P = perimeter

we know that for a common rectangle:

P = 2*S + 2*L

We aso know that:

L = 2ft + (1/3)*P

S = (1/10)*P

L = S + 9ft.

So we have a system, let's find the perimeter only using this system (So i will ignore the equation for the perimeter of a rectangle)

First, we can replace the third equation in the first equation, now we have a system with only two equations:

S + 9ft = 2ft + (1/3)*P

S = P/10

Now we can replace the second equation in the first equation, and get:

P/10 + 9ft = 2ft + P/3

Now let's solve this for P.

9ft - 2 ft = P/3 - P/10

7ft = P( 1/3 - 1/10) = P*( 10/30 - 3/30) = P*(7/30)

(30/7)*7ft = P = 30ft.

The perimeter is 30ft.

A florist normally takes 20 hours to assemble 10 flower arrangements how long do it takes to do one flower arrangement
Mariana [72]
20/10= 2

All you need to do is divide the number of hours it takes by the number of flower arrangments. So, it takes the florist 2 hours to assemble one flower arrangement.

I hope this helps!

7^3 times 7^-7 times 7
dusya [7]

Hello there! :)

<u><em>Answer:\frac{1}{343}</em></u>

<u><em>*The answer must have a fraction.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Zero and Negative Exponents.

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you apply exponent rule.

a^b*a^c=a^b^+^c

7^-^3

\frac{1}{7^3}=7^3=7*7*7=343

Final answer: \frac{1}{343}

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

-Charlie

Have a great day!

:)
