The formula for a rectangle's perimeter is

P = 2l + 2w

We know the length is 2 ft greater than thrice the width, so 2l becomes:

3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft

Substitute.

P = 3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft + 2w

Add like terms.

P = 8w + 4ft

Substitute P.

84 ft = 8w + 4ft

Subtract 4 ft from both sides to eliminate. (Property of equality)

84 ft - 4ft = 8w + 4ft - 4ft
80 ft = 8w

Divide 8 on both sides to isolate w.

80 ft / 8 = 8w / 8

10 ft = w

We have the value of w, now look for the l which we know is 2 feet more than thrice the value of w.

l = 10 ft × 3 + 2 ft
l = 30 ft + 2 ft
l = 32 ft

Therefore, the length and the width of the rectangle is 10 ft (w) and 32 ft (l).

Check:
84 ft = (2) (10 ft) + (2) (32 ft)
84 ft = 20 ft + 64 ft
84 ft = 84 ft ✔

Mkey [24]

Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles. It says to find out a fraction with a denominator of 4 and which is less than 7/12.

Let's assume the required fraction to be x/4 such that x/4 is less than 7/12.

\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12} \\\\ 3*\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12}*3 \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{21}{12} \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{7}{4} \\\\ 3x < 7

So we must have multiples of 3's that should be less than 7, we have only two choices 3 < 7 or 6 < 7.

It means x = 1 or x = 2, and the required fraction would be 1/4 or 2/4.

2/4 is simplified to 1/2 and the question says to have denominator 4.

Hence, final answer is 1/4
