Answer:

B. 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w) where l is the length and w is the width

Substituting in the given values

48 = 2(16+w)

Divide each side by 2

48/2 = 2/2(16+w)

24 = 16+w

Subtract 16 from each side

24-16 =16+w-16

8 =w

Dovator [93]

Complete question :

Members of the swim team want to wash their hair. The bathroom has less than 5600 liters of water and at most 2.5 liters of shampoo. 70L+ 60S < 5600 represents the number of long-haired members L and short-haired members S who can wash their hair with less than 5600 liters of water. 0.02L + 0.01S < or equal to 2.5 represents the number of long-haired members and short-haired members who can wash their hair with at most 2.5 liters of shampoo. Does the bathroom have enough water and shampoo for 8 long-haired members and 7 short -haired members?

Answer:

Yes , there is enough water and shampoo

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of long and short hair member who can wash their hair with less than 5600 litres of water.

70L+ 60S < 5600

Number of long and short hair member who can wash their hair with at most 2.5 litres of shampoo

0.02L + 0.01S ≤ 2.5

To check if bathroom has enough water and shampoo for 8 long haired and 7 short haired members.

Water check:

70L+ 60S < 5600

L = 8 ; S = 7

70(8) + 60(7) < 5600

560 + 420 < 5600

980 < 5600

Inequality constraint is satisfied ; There is enough water.

Shampoo check:

0.02L + 0.01S ≤ 2.5

L = 8 ; S = 7

0.02(8) + 0.01(7) ≤ 2.5

0.16 + 0.07 ≤ 2.5

0.23 ≤ 2.5

Inequality constraint is satisfied ; There is enough shampoo

tony had 1 1/2 gallons of orange juice. He drank 2/7 of the orange juice he had. How mucj orange juice did Tony drink?
Sever21 [200]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question.
Amount of juice that Tony actually had = 11/2 gallons
Amount of juice that Tony drank = (11/2) * (2/7) gallons
                                                    = 11/7 gallons
From the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the amount of juice that Tony drank was 11/7 gallons.
