Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's set this up as a proportion (2 equal ratios).

\frac{miles}{gallons} =\frac{412}{103} =\frac{184}{g}

If you multiply the diagonal numbers, their products will be equal. (412×g=103×184). This is called cross multiplying. Now we can solve for g.

412g=18952

Divide both sides by 412.

g=46

Therefore, the boat will need 46 gallons of gasoline to go 184 miles.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The perimeter of a rectangular park is 500 feet. The length of the park is 100 feet longer than the width. Find the length of th
lord [1]

Answer:

The length of the park is 175 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ The perimeter of a rectangular park is 500 feet

∵ The formula of the perimeter of the rectangle is P = 2(L + W)

∵ L is the length and W is the width

→ Equate the rule of the perimeter by 500

∴ 2(L + W) = 500

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ L + W = 250 ⇒ (1)

∵ The length of the park is 100 feet longer than the width

→ That means L is W plus 100

∴ L = W + 100 ⇒ (2)

→ Substitute L in (1) by (2)

∵ W + 100 + W = 250

→ Add the like terms

∵ (W + W) + 100 = 250

∴ 2W + 100 = 250

→ Subtract 100 from both sides

∵ 2W + 100 - 100 = 250 - 100

∴ 2W = 150

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ W = 75

→ Substitute the value of W in (2) to find L

∵ L = 75 + 100 = 175

∴ The length of the park is 175 feet

y = 2(3+x) = 2(3+8) = 22
y = 3x-2 = 3*8 -2 = 22
