Answer:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 8 x +4
Length of the rectangle = 12 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle as 'x' units.
So, length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 x.
We can set up expression for length as 3 x+2.
Now, perimeter is sum of all side lengths of the rectangle.
So, perimeter = x+x+3 x+2 +3 x+2
Combine like terms,
Perimeter = 8 x+4
Now, it is given perimeter is 36cm
So,
8 x+4=36
Subtract both sides 4
8 x=32
Divide both sides by 8
x=4
So, width of the rectangle =4
Length =3(4) +2=14
<u>Answer:</u>
The amount of butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 butter
<u>Explanation</u>:
Consider the number of cup of flour used to be x
According to question,
Recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar
Sugar =
Sugar = 1.5x
Butter = ½ x = 0.5x
According to question,
Flour + Sugar + Butter = 7.5
x + 1.5x + 0.5x = 7.5
3x = 7.5
x = 2.5
Sugar = 1.5x = 1.5(2.5) = 3.75
Butter = 0.5(2.5) = 1.25
Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 cups butter
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pints of paint = 20
For landscape :
2/5 * 20 = 8 pints
For clover :
3/10 * 20 = 6 pints
Total used = (8 + 6) = 14
Pints left = 20 - 14 = 6 pints
14 required for next painting
14 - 6 = 8 pints
8 more pints needed
Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope of a line given two points by using
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-2- -1)/( -4 - -8)
= (-2+1)/(-4+8)
= -1/4
