Answer:

63 feet long and 10.5 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

147 is the maximum amount of fencing, which means that this is dealing with perimeter.

So we set up our equation:

6x + 6x + x + x ≤ 147

(x being the width, and 6x being the length, which is 6 times the width)

this simplifies to:

14x ≤ 147

simplify:

x ≤ 10.5

So the width of the fencing is 10.5 feet long, meaning that the length is 63 feet long.

Check answers:

6(10.5) + 6(10.5) + 10.5 + 10.5 = 147

63 + 63 + 21 = 147

126 + 21 = 147

147 = 147

It works, so that is the solution.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

length = 63 ft; width = 10.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6x.

The perimeter is the sum of 2 lengths and 2 widths.

6x + 6x + x + x

The perimeter equals 147 ft.

6x + 6x + x + x = 147

14x = 147

x = 10.5

The width is 10.5 ft.

The length is 6x, so the length is 6 * 10.5 ft = 63 ft

Answer:

16.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are initially 24 + 15 + 8 = 47 pencils in the bag.

Take a pencil out of this bag of 47 pencils. 15 out of the 47 pencils blue. Let A represent the event of getting a blue pencil on the first pick. The probability of getting a blue pencil is:

\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{15}{47}.

There are now 47 - 1 = 46 pencils left in the bag. However, given that the first pencil removed from the bag is blue, the number of red pencils in the bag will still be 24. Take another pencil out of this bag of 46 pencils. Let B represent the event of getting a red pencil on the second pick. The possibility that the second pencil is red given that the first pencil is blue will be:

\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{24}{46}.

The question is asking for the possibility that the first pencil is blue and the second pencil is red. That is:

\displaystyle P(A\cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{15}{47}\times \frac{24}{46} = 0.166512 \approx 16.7\%.

Isla pick tomatoes from her vegetable patch and then sells them in boxes she changes 14p for each tomatoes and 25p for each boxe
amid [387]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 18 tomatoes: £3.02
  • £4.39 ⇒ 26 tomatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) at 12 tomatoes per box, 18 tomatoes will require 2 boxes. Then Isla's price will be ...

  2(25p) +18(14p) = 50p +252p = £3.02

18 tomatoes in 2 boxes cost £3.02.

__

b) The 3 boxes cost 3(25p) = £0.75, so the tomatoes cost ...

  £4.39 -0.75 = £3.64

at 14p each, the number of tomatoes is £3.64/£0.14 = 26

There are 26 tomatoes in 3 boxes costing £4.39.
