Answer:
Length = 200 m
Breadth = 175 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangular field = Total cost ÷ rate per metre
= 12000 ÷ 16
= 750 m
Length : breadth = 8 : 7
Length = 8x
Breadth = 7x
Perimeter = 750
2*(length + breadth) = 750
2*(8x + 7x) = 750
2* 15x = 750
30x = 750
x = 750/30
x = 25
Length = 8x = 8*25 = 200 m
Breadth = 7*25 = 175 m
If we take the perimeter of the park as being equivalent to the distance that Anwar walks, then we can calculate the number of blocks he walks and then multiply this by the width of each block, thus:
Number of blocks walked = 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
Distance walked = 8*300 = 2400 feet
(You could also draw a diagram to help present this in a visual way but it is not necessary)
This translates to "a number" is greater than 45. All you have to do now is translate these words into an algebraic statement. Basically, you replace "a number" with the variable which it is defined for, and you use the "greater than" symbol to show that the variable is greater than the value of 45.
