Mathematics

Answer:

   33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:


The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b



We want to find (a-b)/a  to find the percent decrease

                           (a-2/3a)/a *100percent

                             (1/3a)/a* 100 percent

                                  1/3 * 100 percent

                                     33 1/3 percent smaller

The length of a rectangle is 6 in. more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 in. Find the dimensions of the rect
klasskru [66]

1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.

2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:

l = w + 6

3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:

24 = 2w + 2l

4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:

24 = 2w + 2l

if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)

24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )

24 = 4w + 12

12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)

w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)

w = 3 in.

5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :

l = w + 6

l = 3 + 6

l = 9 in.

6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
