The ratio is 4:5 girls to boys
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
Answer:
7x
Step-by-step explanation:
4+3= 7
=7x
(since they both have the variable "x" we can combine them both)
have a good day! <3
Answer:
There are 6,296 children at the carnival
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of each group of people can be expressed as;
Number of boys (b)+number of adults (a)=7,052
b+a=7,052....equation 1
Number of girls (g)=Number of adults (a)-756
g=a-756....equation 2
But Number of girls (g)=number of boys (b)
Replacing the value of b in equation 1 with that of g in equation 2;
(a-756)+a=7,052
a+a=7,052+756
2 a=7,808
a=7,808/2
a=3,904
Replace the value of a in equation 2 with 3,904
g=3,904-756
g=3,148
But since g=b
g=b=3,148
b=3,148
Total number of children=Total number of boys (b)+total number of girls (g)
Total number of children=b+g
where;
b=3,148
g=3,148
replacing;
Total number of children=(3,148+3,148)=6,296
There are 6,296 children at the carnival
