8 can go into 71 seven times
Hi there! :)
Answer:
Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Perimeter, or P = 35 m
Ratio of l to w = 3 : 2
Since the ratio is 3 : 2, let l = 3x, and w = 2x.
We know that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w. Therefore:
35 = 2(3x) + 2(2x)
35 = 6x + 4x
35 = 10x
x = 3.5
Plug this value of "x" into each expression to solve for the dimensions:
2(3.5) = w
w = 7 m
3(3.5) = l
l = 10.5 m
Therefore, the dimensions are:
Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.
First, convert how many yards there were to inches. 3 1/2 yards gets you 126 inches. Next, find out how many inches 2 feet and 10 inches of ribbon is. 34 is your answer. Subtract 34 from 126 to get an answer of 92 inches (7 feet, 6 inches.)
Area= l*b
0.8=3.2*x
0.8/3.2=x
x=0.25 units
