Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there are 16 oz in a pound
We can use ratios
15 x
----- = ----------
6 oz 16 oz
Using cross products
15 * 16 = 6x
240 = 6x
divide by 6
240/6 = 6x/6
40 =x
Answer:
B or just google it
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational numbers:
Fractions
Decimals
Whole numbers
Etc.
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.
