Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of a rectangle = 2×length + 2×width = 28 ft
width = length - 2
length = width + 2
2×(width + 2) + 2×width = 28
2×width + 4 + 2×width = 28
4×width + 4 = 28
4×width = 24
width = 6 ft
and the length is width + 2 = 6+2 = 8 ft.
Answer:
b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
8 = b - 1 + 8b
<em>combine like terms</em>
8 = 9b - 1
<em>add 1 to both sides of the equation</em>
<em>8 + 1 = 9b - 1 + 1</em>
<em>8 + 1 = 9b</em>
9 = 9b
<em>divide both sides of the equation by 9</em>
9/9 = 9b/9
1 = b

Ratio of cheese to pepperoni...
45 cheese....20 pepperoni.....45/20 reduces to 9/4 or 9:4
little tip ** be careful of the wording of problems such as these.....because if it asked for the ratio of pepperoni to cheese, it would have been 4:9
It is shown that he goes down in a slower time than he does going up.
So,
#1:

Convert to like improper fractions.

Add.

So, one solution could be

.
Another solution could by 9. There is also 10, 11, 12, etc., and all numbers in between.
#2:

Convert into improper fraction form.

Multiply.

Cross-cancel, and we have our final result.

k < 96
96 is not a solution.
95 is a solution.
So is 94, 93, 92, etc, and all numbers in between.
