Answer:

The length is 9in and the width is 3in

The perimeter is 24in and the area is 27in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to make 2 equations with the information that gave us the problem

l = length

w = width

w = l - 6in

l = 3w

we replace l in the first equation with (3w)

w = (3w) - 6in

w - 3w = -6in

-2w = -6in

w = -6in / (-2)

w = 3in

now we replace the value of w in the second equation

l = 3w

l = 3 (3in)

l = 9in

Now that we have the length and width we can calculate the perimeter and the area with the following formulas

p = perimeter

a = area

p = 2w + 2h

p = 2(3in) + 2(9in)

p = 6in + 18in

p = 24in

a = w * l

a = 3in * 9in

a = 27in²

Jamie has a piece of wood that is 6/8 inches long. He cuts the wood into pieces that are ¼ inches long. How many pieces of wood
pashok25 [27]
Answer: three pieces.

The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.

1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
