Answer:
240
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the width of the sidewalk and the area becomes:
A=LW and L=6+2x and W=4+2x now we have
A=(6+2x)(4+2x) and we are told that A=48ft^2
48=24+20x+4x^2
4x^2+20x-24=0
4(x^2+5x-6)=0
x^2+5x-6=0
x^2-x+6x-6=0
x(x-1)+6(x-1)=0
(x+6)(x-1)=0
So x=-6, 1, however since x is a measurement it must be positive thus
x=width=1 ft is the only possible solution.
Answer:
2½
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the Least Common Denominator [LCD], which is 6, then convert 5⅙:
5⅙ → 4 7⁄6

You see, we regrouped 1 from 5⅙ to make sure that the top mixed number had a higher value than the bottom mixed number, so it is much easier to work with.
