Answer:

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some variables first.

Call the length l and width w.

We know that w = 2/3l. Therefore, we can express w in terms of l with this expression.

Now, let's set up an equation. The flower garden is rectangular, and 280 feet of fencing are used to enclose the garden. This represents perimeter.

Remember the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: 2l + 2w

Let's substitute 2/3l for w:

2l + 2*2/3l = P

2l + 4/3l = 280

2 4/3l = 280

10/3l = 280

l = 84

Now, we know that the length is equal to 84 feet. We can multiply 84 feet by 2/3 to find the width.

84*2/3 = 56

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Let's plug these values into the formula and see if they give us the correct perimeter:

2l + 2w = P

2*84 + 2*56 = P

168 + 112

= 280 feet

These are the correct dimensions!  

Hope this helps! You can reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns! :)

A physical education teacher plans to divide the seventh graders at Wilson Middle School into teams of equal size of year-ending
Crank

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of students are: 24+26+21=71

He wants each team will have the same number of students between 5 and 9.

The number between 5 to 9 are 6, 7 and 8.

The number 71 is a prime number so we need to divide the 71 students in group so that minimum students left without team.

Dividing 6 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{6} = 11 teams and 5 students.

Dividing 7 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{7} = 10 teams and 1 students.

Dividing 8 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{8} = 8 teams and 7 students.

Thus, we can not divide 71 students into equal teams, but 70 divided by 7 gives the least students left out i.e 10 teams each with 7 students and only 1 student will remain at last.
