The width of rectangle is 2\frac{1}{4}\ cm and length is 5\frac{5}{12}\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+3\frac{1}{6}=w+\frac{19}{6}

Perimeter of rectangle = 15\frac{1}{3}=\frac{46}{3}\ cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

2(w+\frac{19}{6}+w)=\frac{46}{3}\\2(2w+\frac{19}{6})=\frac{46}{3}\\4w+\frac{19}{3}=\frac{46}{3}

Subtracting \frac{19}{3} from both sides

4w+\frac{19}{3}-\frac{19}{3}=\frac{46}{3}-\frac{19}{3}\\4w=\frac{46-19}{3}\\4w=\frac{27}{3}\\4w=9

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\\w=\frac{9}{4}

Therefore,

Width of rectangle = w = \frac{9}{4}=2\frac{1}{4} cm

Length of rectangle = w+\frac{19}{6}=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{19}{6}=\frac{27+38}{12}=\frac{65}{12}=5\frac{5}{12}\ cm

The width of rectangle is 2\frac{1}{4}\ cm and length is 5\frac{5}{12}\ cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to remember:

1). When we divide a number having decimal by 10, 100, 1000 or any number multiple of ten, decimal point of the numerator shifts left by the number of zeros present in denominator.

Example:    \frac{2.0}{100}=0.02

2). When we multiply a decimal number by 10, 100, or any number number multiple of 10, decimal point of the original number shifts right by number of zeros present in multiplier.

Example:   2.0 × 100 = 200

In this question, 0.014 × 100000 = 1400.000

Therefore, product of 0.014 and 100000 is 1400 because the decimal point in 0.014 moves 5 places to the right.

A bee flies at 20 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. The bee stays at the flower bed for 15 minutes, and th
oee [108]

Answer:

a. Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. The flower bed is 2,400 ft from the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Mathematically, the distance will be ;

the speed * time taken

Given that he stays a total of 17 minutes away from the hive and he stayed 15 minutes in the flower bed, the time it used on the flower bed will be 17 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 minutes

So the distance from the flower bed to the hive is;

Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)

b. We want to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive

That will be;

20 ft per second * 2 minutes (120 seconds)

= 20 * 120 = 2,400 ft
