Let's assume
length of rectangle is L
width of rectangle is W
the width of a rectangle is 3 meters more than one-fourth its length
so,
the perimeter is 10 meters more than twice its length
we know that
perimeter =2(L+W)
so, we get
now, we can simplify it
subtract both sides by 2L
now, we can find L
subtract both sides 3
multiply both sides by 4
so,
length of rectangle is 8 meter
width of rectangle is 5 meter ............Answer
Answer:
- 17.9% of men have a HS degree
- 50.5% of 2-yr degree earners were women
- 27.9% of the group has a 4-yr degree or higher
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to use a spreadsheet to total the numbers for you. This reduces errors and put the numbers in a form that makes it easy to see what you're working with in any given calculation.
men with HS degree = (male HS)/(all male)
= 76/425 ≈ 0.1788 ≈ 17.9%
__
2-yr degrees that are women = (female 2-yr)/(2-yr total)
= 248/491 ≈ 0.5051 ≈ 50.5%
__
4-yr degrees in group = (4-yr degrees)/(total group)
= 258/925 ≈ 0.2789 ≈ 27.9%

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
The spreadsheet is identical to the one used for your other problem. All that needed to be done was to enter the new numbers. The formatting, headers, and formulas remained the same. For solving these problems, it's a matter of picking the two numbers needed from the appropriate row or column and computing their ratio.
(The computations were done by hand here to better show you the numbers used and the rounding to tenth percent. They can be done in the spreadsheet with point and click.)
