The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to 4040. if the length is halved and the width is divided by 3, the new perimeter is decre
Softa [21]
New perimeter is 4040-2424= 1616
original, let x and y be length and width
2x + 2y = 4040
new
2x/2 +2y/3 = 1616
x +2y/3 = 1616
x = 1616 - 2y/3
sub this x value into first eq
2(1616-2y/3) + 2y = 4040
3232 - 4y/3 + 2 = 4040
put like terms together
-4y/3+2y=4040-3232
2y/3=808
multiply both sides by 3
2y = 2424
divide both sides by 2
y=1212

sub this y value into any eq. i chose eq 1
2x+2(1212)= 4040
2x = 4040 - 2(1212)
2x = 1616
x = 808

so the length is 808 and the width is 1212

A large bag or sugar weighs 7 1/2 lb. Gow Much does 1 1/4 bags of sugar weighs
arsen [322]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the weight of a large bag of sugar is 7\frac{1}{2}. This complex fraction can be written as

7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{14+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}

So, the weight of a large bag of sugar is \frac{15}{2}.

The number of bags is 1\frac{1}{4}. It means the number of bags is number of bags is \frac{5}{4}.

1\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\text{ lb}

Multiply both side by \frac{5}{4}.

1\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ lb}

\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{75}{8}\text{ lb}

\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=9\frac{3}{8}\text{ lb}

Therefore correct option is 4.

If you multiply 2/3 * 6/10, would the product be more than 6/10 or less than 6/10?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Less than.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have included the explanation in bullet points so it is easier to understand.

We don't even need to solve the problem in order to find out.

  • We know that any number times one is itself
  • We know that any number times less than one would be less than itself.
  • In order to get a product more than 6/10 we would need to multiply it by something more than 1.
  • 2/3 is not more than one, which means the product would be less than 6/10

Hope this helps!
