Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 17 cm and the width of the rectangle is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the measurements in the question, you can set up two different equations to find the length and width of the rectangle.  First, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:  P = 2W + 2L, where W = width and L=length.  In this problem the L is '7 more than twice its width', this means our first equation is:

L = 2W + 7

Next, we can use this expression in our formula for perimeter to get our second equation:

P = 2W + 2(2W + 7)  or 44 = 2W + 2(2W + 7)

Distribute:  44 = 2W + 4W + 14

Combine like terms:  44 = 6W + 14

Subtract 14 from both sides:  44 - 14 = 6W + 14 - 14 or 30 = 6W

Divide 6 from both sides:  30/6 = 6W/6 or W = 5

Now, solve for L:  L = 2(5) + 7 or L = 10 + 7 = 17

So, the width is 5cm and the length is 17 cm.

Angie is wrapping a present for her best friend. The box is 16 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 3 inches high. How many square i
rjkz [21]
I'm assuming the box is a rectangular prism:
They're asking for the surface area so the answer should be 48*2 + 192*2 + 36*2 since it has 6 faces so S.A. = 552 square in.

Grandma is trying out a new recipe for raisin bread. Each batch of bread dough makes three loaves, and each loaf contains 15 sli
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability process :

Where :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

Given that :

Each batch of bread = 3 loaves

Each loaf = 15 slices

Total slice per batch = 15 * 3 = 45 slices

Number of raising added = 100

Average number of raisin per slice, λ = 100/45 = 20/9

Hence,

Probability that a randomly chosen slice has no raising :

P(x = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

P(x = 0) = (e^-(100/45) * (100/45)^0) ÷ 0!

P(x = 0) = (0.1083680 * 1) / 1

P(x = 0) = 0.108

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 is represented by a solid point on a number line.

x > 1 is represented by an arrow starting from x = 1 towards infinity

If we mix both the properties, x ≥ will be represented by an arrow starting from a solid point at x = 1 and moving towards the values greater than one.

From the options given,

Arrow mentioned in Option (2) will be the correct representation of the inequality.

Which expression is equivalent to -18a^-2b^5/-12a^-4b^-6?
Novosadov [1.4K]
First divide the  coefficients:-
-18 / -12  = 3/2

a^-2 / a^-4  = a^2

b^-5 / b^-6  =  b


so the expression simplifies to  3a^2b / 2
