Answer:
Length = 6.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden.
Let the width is x.
Length is 2 1/2 feet longer than the width i.e. (x+2 1/2) = (x+2.5) feet
Perimeter = 20 feet
2(l+b) = 20
(l+b) = 10
(x+2.5+x) = 10
2x+2.5 = 10
2x = 7.5
x = 3.75 feet
Length = (x+2.5)
= (3.75+2.5)
= 6.25 feet
So, the length of the garden is 6.25 feet.

Answer:
Each students provides 13 pounds of meal
Step-by-step explanation:
Total students in Ms. Lee class = 220
Total pounds of food collected = 2,860
how many meals did each student provide?
Meals provided by each student = Total pounds of food collected / total number of students
= 2,860 / 220
= 13 pounds
Each students provides 13 pounds of meal
Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal
1.2 pounds : 1 meal = 13 pounds : x meals
1.2/1 = 13/x
1.2 * x = 1 * 13
1.2x = 13
x = 13 / 1.2
= 10.83 meals
Approximately 11 meals to the nearest number
Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds
1 kg : 2.2 pounds = x kg : 13 pounds
1/2.2 = x / 13
1 * 13 = 2.2 * x
13 = 2.2x
x = 13/2.2
= 5.91 kilogram
Approximately x = 6 kilograms
