A rectangle whose perimeter is 110 feet. The length is 4 times as long as the width. Find the length and the width.

1 answer:

8 0

Set up a system of equations.
l=4w
2l+2w=110

Substitute l in to the second equation.
2(4w)+2w=110
8w+2w=110
10w=110
w=11

Substitute w back into the first equation.
l=4(11)=44

So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 11 feet.

9) Craig earns the same amount

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Craig earns $1,200 each month

Explanation:

We are given that Craig pays a total of $720 each year for his telephone service

We also know that a year has 12 months

This means that:

Craig pays $\frac{720}{12}= 60$ dollars each month for his telephone services

We are given that the monthly phone bill is $\frac{1}{20}$ of his monthly earnings

Assume that his monthly payment is x

We have:

$\frac{1}{20}x = PhoneBill\\ \\ \frac{1}{20}x = 60\\ \\ x=60*20 = 1200$ dollars

Hope this helps :)
