A rectangular kitchen is twice as long as it is wide, and it’s perimeter is 84 feet. Find the dimensions of the kitchen

1 answer:

6 0

So since the kitchens long is wide x 2 if you add the 2 longs it makes a wide so you end up with 3 wides technically. So you divide 84 by 3 and u get 28 so make your 2 wides 28. Then u divide 28 by 2 to get 14 so your longs are 14 and your wides are 28 if u add it all together it’s 84.

Write each ratio statement as a fraction and reduce to lowest terms if possible:

qwelly [4]

The answers are:

18 to 24 = $\frac{18}{24} = \frac{3}{4}$

5 to 15 = $\frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$

14:42 = $\frac{14}{42} = \frac{1}{3}$

15 cents to 18 cents = $\frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

To write a fraction using a ratio, simply use the first number as the numerator (top number), in this case, the numbers 18, 5, 14, and 15, and the second or biggest number as a denominator (bottom number), in this case, the numbers 24, 15, 42 and 18. This means the fractions are $\frac{18}{24}$ , $\frac{5}{15}$ , $\frac{14}{42}$ , and $\frac{15}{18}$ .

The second step is to reduce or simplify the fractions, which means the numbers in a fraction are divided by the same factor (a number that divides another without a remainder). Additionally, to do this, it is important to reduce the fraction to its minimum.

$\frac{18}{24}$ divide this by 6, which is equivalent to $\frac{3}{4}$
