A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour. If they work at the same rate, how much will they pave in one hour?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

0.857 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour.

We need to find how much will they pave in 1 hour if they work at the same rate.

14 hours = 12 miles

To find how much they pave in 1 hour, we must divide 12 by 14 as follows :

$1\ \text{hour}=\dfrac{12}{14}\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.857\ \text{miles}$

Hence, they pave 0.857 miles in 1 hour.0.857 miles in 1 hour.

The length of a rectangle is twice it’s width.The length is 12cm.Work out the area of the rectangle

aliina [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As with all word problems we first have to convert it to an equation or equations.

L = length of the Rectangle and W = its width

So L = 2 * W

A = area of the rectangle which is 128 cm^2

So A = L * W = 128 cm^2

substitute 2W for L from the 1st equation to give A = 2 * W * W = 2 * W^2 = 128 cm^2

Thus W^2 = 64 cm^2

finally W = 8 cm and therefore L = 2 * W = 16 cm

The perimeter P = 2 * (L+W) = 2* (8cm + 16cm) = 2 * 24cm = 48 cm
