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.

Create an equation for the following scenario:
Ivanshal [37]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Sum means you add. Let's call our number n.

n+15

We double the whole thing.

2(n+15)

This is equal to something.

2(n+15)=

Difference means you subtract.

2(n+15)=n-6.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Solve: 7.2h = 57.6 A. h= 0.8 B. h = 8 C. h = 50.4 D. h = 80
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

B. h=8

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B. h=8. I know because I solved to get h by itself. First, I set up the problem.

7.2h=57.6

Then, I divided each side by 7.2, so I could get h by itself.

h=8

You can check to make sure this is correct by plugging in the value we got for h into the equation.

7.2(8)=57.6

In conclusion, the answer is B. h=8

miss Clara runs a catering business she's buying fruit to make a large order for fruit salad she buys 5 3/10 pounds of apples th
IRISSAK [1]
Miss Clara bought:

5 3/10 pounds of apples
3 4/10 pounds of oranges
1/10 pounds of bananas
3/10 pounds of green apples
5/14 pounds of red grapes

To find out how many pounds of grapes Miss Clara bought in all, we just have to add up all the amounts of fruit that she bought.

Clara's total pounds of fruit = 5 3/10 + 3 4/10 + 1/10 + 3/10 + 5/14

First, we shall add the mixed numbers together.  5  3/10 + 3 4/10 = 8 7/10.  Therefore,

Clara's total pounds of fruit=8 7/10 + 1/10 +3/10 + 5/14

Next, we shall add up the fractions with common denominators.  1/10+ 3/10 = 4/10.  Therefore,

Clara's total pounds of fruit = 8 7/10 + 4/10 + 5/14

After that, we should add the mixed numbers and fractions with common denominators.  8 7/10 + 4/10 = 9 1/10.  Therefore,

Clara's total pounds of fruit = 9 1/10 + 5/14

Finally, we must add up the remaining terms.  9 1/10 + 5/14 = 9 16/35.  

Therefore, Miss Clara bought 9 16/35 pounds of fruit in all.
