The length is two times its width, and the perimeter equals 24.

All the sides added up equal 24.

4 and 8 could be the width and the length of the rectangle.

4*2= 8 and

4+4+8+8= 24

width= 4 length= 8

I hope this helps!

So the length is 2 times the width, which means you double the length when adding. To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the sides.

l= length= 2w
w= width

l + w= 24
Substitute in the same variable as width
2w+w=24
3w=24
Divide both sides by 3
w=8 width

2w= 2(8)= 16 = length

Hope this helps!! :)

According to the histogram of travel times to work from the US 2000 census (Page 6 of "Journey to Work: 2000"), roughly what per

Histograms are used to represent data, where the length of each bar represents the frequency of the data element

The histogram is not given; So, I will give a general explanation.

Assume that the number of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 450, while the total number of commuters surveyed is 500.

The percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is the quotient of the commuters that travel more than 45 minutes and the total number of surveyed commuters.

So, we have:

$\%Percentage = \frac{450}{500}$
