Let l=length be length and w=width

w=2l-3

To find the perimeter add all the sides of the rectangle

Perimeter=w+w+l+l

Replacing w=2l-3

(2l-3)+(2l-3)+l+l=51

6l-6=51

add to both sides 6

6l=51+6

6l=57

Divide both sides with 6

l=57/6 \\ l=9.5

w=2l-3 \\ w=2(9.5)-3\\ w=19-3\\ w=16

Belle wants to build a sandbox in the shape of a rectangular prism. She needs the volume of her sandbox to be 18 cubic feet and
ycow [4]

Answer:

9x2x1 and 6x3x1

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has multiple answers to it. A sandbox of 18 cubic feet with a height of a foot is actually quite simple. If it is confusing I would try to visualize the sandbox. Since volume is b x h x w the first thing you should do is divide 18 by 1. This would be more important if the height was more than one. Now you just have to find two other numbers that can divide 18. 9x2=18 and 6x3=18 so two possible dimensions for the sandbox are 9x2x1 and 6x3x1

Anyone know how to simplify a whole number into a mixed number or a improper fraction???
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense

It would be t=0.8, mainly bc you subtract two from six , that reduces it to four 
then you divide four by five and it should give you your answer
and to chack your work put .8 where t was and solve

Maslowich
<span>Carol noticed that 7/10 of the children playing soccer were girls. Which statement could be correct?
A. There were 28 girls and 12 boys playing soccer.
28 : x% = 40 (the total number of children) : 100%
40x = 28 * 100
40x = 2800
x = 2800 / 40
x = 70%
There were 70% of girls in the class.
70 / 100 = 0.7
7/ 10 = 0.7
This is why A is the correct answer.
