63/8 is 7.875, or 7 remainder 7.
To solve the problem, do the problem in the parenthesis () then do your answer with the numbers outside the ().
(8-3) = 5 x 3 = 15
(6 + 4) = 10 / 2 = 5
(6 - 4) = 2 / 2 = 1
(6 x 4) = 24 / 2 = 3
Um... part of the (6 4) doesn't make sense... What goes between the numbers? Plus, minus, multiply or division sign? Please tell.
But, I already got you started off and I'll let you figure out the rest. (If you can not figure out the rest, please tell me what sign is between the 6 and 4 in (6 4) and then I'll give you the answer and a better explanation.)
I hope this helps! :D
Answer:
There are an infinite number of values satisfying the requirements; every couple of numbers satisfying the following conditions are valid:
base = 60-w meters
width = w meters
0 < w <= 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the playground has a rectangular shape, let us us call b the base of the rectangle and w its width. In order for the rectangle to satisfy the condition of P = 120, we need for the following equation to satisfy:
2b + 2w = 120
Solving for b, we get that b = (120 - 2w)/2 = 60 - w .
Given a particular value (w) for the width, the base has to be: (60-w).
Therefore, the possible lengths of the playground are (60-w, w), where 60-w corresponds to the base of the rectangle and w to its width. And w can take any real value from 0 to 22.
