Let's assume Ken arranged his sandwiches in a rectangular shape with length 'L' and width 'W'. Now Sarah arranged her sandwiches to form a border around Ken's rectangle. The solution diagram is attached below.

Ken needs as much sandwiches as area of rectangle i.e. number of Ken's sandwiches would be = LW.

It is clear that Sarah needs as much sandwiches as perimeter of rectangle and extra four sandwiches to put on corners. It means number of Sarah's sandwiches would be = 2·(L+W) + 4.

Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used.

Ken and Sarah bought same number of sandwiches. So we need to solve the following equation :-

Number of Ken's sandwiches = Number of Sarah's sandwiches

LW = 2·(L+W) + 4

Using trial and error approach, we get 6 x 4 = 2 x (6 + 4) + 4.

So number of Ken's sandwiches would be LW = 6 x 4 = 24 sandwiches.

Hence, final answer is "Each person could have 24 sandwiches".

Why does it takes 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1copy of 1 / 2
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.

We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.

(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3

This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.

You want to buy an MP3 player. Your Aunt paid you $20 to mow her lawn and you earn $5 each week
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1. y = 5x + 20

2. $20 the amount you saved mowing your aunt's lawn.

3. 21 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 is the slope because it is the rate. 20 is the y-intercept because that is how much you already have.

2. 20 because that is how much you already have.

3. Since you already have $20, you need to subtract 125 by 20 to get 105. Then you divide 105 by 5 to get 21 weeks.
