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

14/2 three equivalent ratios

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Three equivalent ratios of $\frac{14}{2}$ are $\frac{7}{1}$ , $\frac{21}{3}$ and $\frac{28}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a fraction $\frac{14}{2}$ .

We need to find the three equivalent ratios/fractions of $\frac{14}{2}$ .

The common factor of 14 and 2 is 2.

So, dividing top and bottom by 2, we get

14÷2 = 7 and 2÷2 that is $\frac{7}{1}$ .

Multiplying $\frac{7}{1}$ fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 3 = 21

1 × 3 = 6

So, we get another equivalent fraction $\frac{21}{6}$ .

Multiplying $\frac{7}{1}$ fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 4 = 28

1 × 4 = 4

So, we get another equivalent fraction $\frac{28}{4}$ .

Therefore, three equivalent ratios of $\frac{14}{2}$ are $\frac{7}{1}$ , $\frac{21}{3}$ and $\frac{28}{4}$ .
