Answer:
Assuming the length to be x and the width to be y.
Since the area is 64cm, hence
x*y = 64 (equation 1)
Since the perimeter is 40cm, hence
x + x + y + y = 40
2x + 2y = 40
2(x + y) = 2(20)
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Hence by using simultaneous equation,
x = 20 - y (equation 3)
Substituting equation 3 into equation 1, we get
(20-y)*y=64
20y-y^2=64
Tidying up the equation,
y^2 - 20y + 64 = 0
By using factorisation,
(y-16)(y-4)=0
y=16 or y=4
By substituting y=16 into equation 1,
x*16=64
x = 4
By substituting y = 4 into equation 1,
x*4=64
x=16
Therefore,
The length is 4 cm while the width is 16 cm.
OR
The length is 16 cm while the width is 4cm.

Answer:
She has 80 apples in all.
Step-by-step explanation:
24=30%
(24÷3)=(30÷3)%
8=10%
(8×10)=(10×10)%
80=100%
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just turn it upside down.
A fraction has a numerator, top number, and a denominator, bottom number.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just swap over the numerator and denominator.
If whole numbers, to get the reciprocal of whole number, just divide the whole number by 1 to make it into a fraction, then get the reciprocal of that fraction.
