Ratio of width to length:    W/L = 3/5
5W = 3L  .........(a)

Perimeter = 2*(L+W) = 80

2*(L+W) = 80
(L+W) = 80/2.  Divide both sides by 2.
L+W= 40......(b)


5W = 3L

L + W = 40    Multiply both sides by 5.
5*(L+W) = 5*40
5L+5W = 200.             Recall from (a)   5W = 3L
5L + 3L = 200
8L = 200
L = 200/8
L = 25.

5W = 3L
5W = 3*25
W = 3*25/5
W = 15.

Therefore, the length, L = 25 and width , W = 15.

Find the next three numbers in the pattern: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ...
Paha777 [63]
Judging by the way the pattern goes,
1+3=4
4+5=9
9+7=16
16+9=25
25+11=36

Then the next 3 numbers would be: 
36+13= 49
49+15=64
64+17=81

The next three numbers are 49, 64 and 81

The pattern is adding 2 to each number. So 3 is added to 1 to make 4. The next number added to 4 would be 5, so on so forth.

Round fraction 3 3/2 to nearest whole number
fenix001 [56]
The answer is: 4 because when you put the mixed number in an improper fraction it is 11/3 and 11 divided by 3= 3.67, so you will need to round it to the nearest whole number which is 4
