well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?
we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,
Answer:
Length is 14
Width is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = 2W + 2
Width = W
Perimeter is twice the length + twice the width
P = 40 = 2(2W+2) + 2W first simplify
40 = 4W + 4 + 2W now combine terms
40 = 6W + 4 and subtract 4 from both sides
36 = 6W
Width W = 6
Length = 2W + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
The answer is 120. Just do 12·12=144. Then 144·5/6=120
