Tommy can paint 1/9 of a fence in 1 hour.
With Huck he can paint a whole fence in 1 hour. 
x : part of a fence that Huck can paint alone in 1 hour.
1/9 + x = 1
x = 1 - 1/9 = 8/9
1 : 8/9 = 9/8 = 1.125 hours = 1 hour 7 minutes 30 seconds

A rectangle is 5 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 50 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Round to the nearest
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Dimensions = 21 centimeters by 4.2 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L.

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of rectangle = 50cm

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = 5W

To find the dimensions of the rectangle;

Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2W

50 = 2L + 2W

50 = 2(5W) + 2W

50 = 10W + 2W

50 = 12W

W = 50/12

W = 4.2 cm.

To find the length;

L = 5W

L = 5*4.2

L = 21 cm.
