The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
A=2l+2w.
We know the area is 116, so we can plug that in for A. Now, we cant solve the equation yet because it still has two variables. Since we know the length is 5 feet greater than the width, we can rewrite l in terms of w. So here is what our new equation will look like:
116=2(w+5)+2w
Now lets solve:
116=2w+10+2w
106=4w
w=26.5 ft.
The width is 26.5 ft.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of A to B is given by :  \dfrac{A}{B} or A : B  .

Given : sundaes with nuts  = 4

sundaes without nuts = 8

The ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the number of sundaes without nuts = \dfrac{8}{4}=\dfrac{2}{1}\ \ \ [\text{Divide numerator and denominator by 4 }]

= 2:1

hence, the required ratio = 2:1 .

Solve to find the answer of blue pills Mr body took: number of blue pills, b, mr mattics give him was 3 more than the number of
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Mr body took 9 blue pills

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pills consumed = 17

Number of blue pills, b = 11

Number of blue pills, b = g + 3

So that,

b = g + 3

11 = g + 3

g = 8

Total number of pills recommended = b + g

                                                            = 11 + 8

                                                            = 19

Total number of pills consumed = 17

Thus,

Number of blue pills consumed = 17 - 8

                                                     = 9

Therefore, Mr body took 9 blue pills.
