16. You add 13 to 35 which makes 3y=48. Then to get y by itself you have to divide both sides by 3. 48/3=16.
Answer:
A. 5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
While both of these numbers are close to 7, 5.3 is the closest and we can find this out with subtraction. So, 9.9 - 7 = 2.9, but 7 - 5.3 = 1.7. Which one can we determine is closer? Well, 2.9 > 1.7, so our answer must be A. 5.3!
Have a nice day and I hope this helped!
-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.
-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.
With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible.
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be
(13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .
= (13-ft) x (3-ft)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 13-ft) + (2 x 3-ft)
= (26-ft) + (6-ft) = 32 feet <== shortest perimeter.
-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area. That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.
The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .
= (39-ft) x (1-ft) .
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 39-ft) + (2 x 1-ft)
= (78-ft) + (2-ft) = 80 feet .
What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
