Answer: the length of the base is 290ft

The width of the base is 175 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the building is rectangular in shape.

Let L represent the length of the base of the building.

Let W represent the width of the base of the building.

The length of the base measures 60 ft less than twice the width. This means that

L = 2W - 60 - - - - - - - - -1

The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as 2(length + width).

The perimeter of this base is 930ft. It means that

2(L + W) = 930

L + W = 930/2 = 465- - - - - - 2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2 , it becomes

2W - 60 + W = 465

3W = 465 + 60 = 525

W = 525/3 = 175

L = 465 - W = 465 - 175

L = 290

Victonia counts this week's food donations at a pet shelter. There are 16 full cases of canned food. There are 4 cases of canned
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

We know that C is the total number of cans in a complete case.

Victoria counts:

16 full cases, so in those we have: 16*C cans.

4 cases with 5 missing cans, so in those we have:

Then if each case has C cans, the cases that are missing 5 cans have:

C - 5 cans.

Then in those four cases we have a total of: 4*(C - 5) cans.

And Victoria knows that there are 220 cans, then we have that:

16*C + 4*(C - 5) = 220

16*C + 4*C - 20 = 220

16*C + 4*C = 220 + 20 = 240

20*C = 240

C = 240/20 = 12

Then each case has 12 cans.

Then the number of cans in the cases with missing cans is:

12 cans - 5 cans = 7 cans.
