The width is 18.

step by step:
1. 2 lengths are 20 which is 20+20 that's 40.
2. 76-40= 36
3. Two widths are 36 cm.
4. so do 36÷2 and that equals 18

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(w + l)

We have P = 76 cm and l = 20 cm.

Substitute:

2(w + 20) = 76       use distributive property

(2)(w) + (2)(20) = 76

2w + 40 = 76     subtract 40 from both sides

2w = 36       divide both sies by 2

w = 18

<h3>Answer: the width = 18 cm</h3>

Select all ratios equivalent to 15:5.<br> 9:3<br> 6:2<br> 3:1
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

All three.

Step-by-step explanation:

All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:

Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3,  so these ratios are equivalent.

Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.

Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.

Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!

Sarah,Leah,Haley and Kim bought 5 bottles of water to share among themselves. They divided each bottle of water into 4 equal por
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Sarah have \frac{5}{4} bottle of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Total number of bottles = 5

As, each bottle is divided into 4 portions.

The amount of water per person = \frac{1}{4}

Further, Sarah took 1 portion from each bottle and there are 5 bottles.

So, the amount of water Sarah have = \frac{1}{4}\times 5 = \frac{5}{4}

Hence, Sarah have \frac{5}{4} bottle of water.
