Answer:

width = 150 yards

length = 200 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given to us, we can make the following two equations:

2L + 2W = 700

L = W + 50

where L is the length in yards and W is the width in yards. This could treat these two equations as a system of linear equations. There are multiple ways to solve a system of linear equations, but I am going to solve this by substitution. Before doing that, I am first going to simplify the first equation, as it will make solving the system easier.

2L + 2W = 700

Divide both sides by 2.

L + W = 350

Since L = W + 50, we can substitute W + 50 for L in the equation L + W = 700.

(W + 50) + W = 350

2W + 50 = 350

2W = 300

W = 150

Now that we found what W is, we can solve for L by plugging 150 into either one of the equations. I am going to plug it into the equation L = W + 50.

L = 150 + 50

L = 200

Now we found what L is. So now we know that the width is 150 yards and the length is 200 yards.

I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)

16/8 would be classified as a/an?<br> A:whole number <br> B:integer <br> C:Rational Number
gregori [183]

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.
