We know that the perimeter is the distance around an object. This is also 2 times the length + 2 times the width. We know the width would be X and the length would be 40 feet longer so it is x+40. Now we have 2 (X) + 2 (x+40)=284
Doing the distributive property you would get 2x + 2x + 80=284
add like terms to get 4x+80=284
subtract 80 from both sides to get 4x=204
divide both sides by 4 to get x=51
Width is 51 and width is 40 more than that so length is 91

284=2x+2(x+40)
284=4x+80
204=4x
51=x
dimensions 51 ft by 91ft

The question was incorrect. Please find the correct content below.

Compare 32/35 and 9/10.

Comparing 32/35 and 9/10 we have 32/35 is greater than 9/10, that is 32/35 > 9/10.

Fraction is the ratio of two numbers. The upper number is called Numerator and the Lower number is called the Denominator.

We know that if the denominators are the same for two fractions then which has the greatest numerator is a greater fraction than the other.

Given the fractions are 32/35, 9/10

To compare this two fractions we have to make denominators equal first.

LCM of 10,35 = 70

Calculating the fractions,

32/35 = (32*2)/(35*2) = 64/70

9/10 = (9*7)/(10*7) = 63/70

Since 64 > 63

So 64/70 > 63/70

Therefore, 32/35 > 9/10

Hence fraction 32/35 is greater than the other fraction 9/10.
