2. PB and J Array Ken has made a selection of square jam sandwiches for party, which he arranges in a single layer on the table

in perfect rectangle. Sarah has brought along the same number of square peanut butter sandwiches, which she puts out, also as a single layer, to form a border vA (one sandwich wide) around Ken's Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used, how many sandwiches could each person possibly have made?

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".

kifflom [539]

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The patio takes 4 people 2 days, so that is 4×2. To get this for 2 people, it's 2×4. This means it takes 4 days.

Think about it, for half the people, it should take double the time.

GEOMETRY HELP PLEASE!!! FAST!!!
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin  and a translation 2 units right

Explanation:

A rotation 90° counterclockwise maps each point (x, y) to (-y, x).  This means our points would be:

A(-4,3)→(-3, 4); B(-1,3)→(-3, -1); C(-2,1)→(-1, -2)

A translation 2 units right will add 2 units to the new x-coordinates; this gives us

(-3, 4)→(-1, 4); (-3, -1)→(-1, -1); and (-1, -2)→(1, -2)

These are the points in the image, so this is the correct set of transformations.
