Answer:

The correct order of fractions in descending order will be:

\frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}, \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction:

\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}

To arrange them in descending order.

Solution:

In order to arrange the fractions in descending order, we will have to find the least common denominators.

To find the least common denominator, we will find the least common multiple of the denominators 3,5, and 30.

Since 30 is a common multiple of all 3 numbers, so it will be the least common denominator.

So, we multiply the numerators and denominators with same numbers in order to make the denominators = 30.

So, we have:

\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}

⇒ \frac{1\times 10}{3\times 10}, \frac{2\times 6}{5\times 6}, \frac{11\times 1}{30\times 1}

⇒ \frac{10}{30}, \frac{12}{30}, \frac{11}{30}

Now, we compare the numerators and arrange them accordingly.

\frac{12}{30} > \frac{11}{30} > \frac{10}{30}

So, the correct order of fractions in descending order will be:

\frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}, \frac{1}{3}

- Let y represent the width of a rectangle and let x represent the rectangle's lengu.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Length: 21 cm and Width:  6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the width and x length of the rectangle. We know:

x = 4y -3 -------- eq. 1

54 = 2x + 2y    (Perimeter of the rectangle) ------- eq.  2

Substitute equation 1 in equation 2:

54 = 2(4y-3) + 2y\\54 = 8y - 6 + 2y\\54 + 6 = 8y + 2y\\60 = 10 y\\\\\frac{60}{10}= y\\y = 6

Using the value of y, we find x.

x = 4y - 3\\x = 4(6) -3\\x= 24 - 3\\x = 21
