6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3

Hi there.

So, we've got the dimensions. 

<em>l</em> = 12, <em /><em>w</em> = 8

We know that the width has been divided by 4. That means we also divide the length by 4. This gives us the new dimensions of:

<em>l</em> = 3, <em>w</em> = 2

A = <em>lw</em> 

3 · 2 = 6 ft²

Cheers~

dawn has a rug with a perimeter of 32 feet the width of her rug is 6 feet what is the length in feet of dawns rug
puteri [66]
6*2=12
32-12=20
20/2=10.
Perimeter is all the way around an object. So take 6 two times and minus that from 32. Answer of that divide by 2 to get the length. Length of one side is 10 ft.

the number of points in the first five games of the football season are listed below. what is the mean number of points scored?
yarga [219]
^ You again? Quit being sus and answer the question here instead of elsewhere.

To find the mean, all you have to do is add each number and then divide by how many numbers you added.

So, 38 + 29 + 16 + 42 + 33 = 158. There were five numbers added, so the next step is to divide 158 by 5. That equals 31.6 as your answer.
