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.

Hope this helped!

A hot air balloon holds 1,592 cubic meters of helium. The density of helium is 0.1785 kilograms per cubic

yuradex [85]

Answer: 285.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The volume of helium in the balloon is $V=1592\ m^3$

The density of the helium is $\rho =0.1785\ kg/m^3$

Mass of the helium gas is given by the product of density and volume

$\Rightarrow M=\rho \cdot V\\\Rightarrow M=0.1785\times 1592\\\Rightarrow M=285.2\ kg$

Thus, the mass of gas is 285.2 kg

Iluguru sold an artick to bol to gain 20% Thereafteru

Anastasy [175]

Answer: £5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bole sold the article for 125% while he bought it for 100%.

Bole sold for £7.50 so £7.50=125%

£7.50/1.25=£6

125%/1.25=100%

£6=100% (the cost Bole bought the article with from Iluguru)

Iluguru sold it at 120% so 120% is £6

To find 100% we divide by 1.2

£6/1.2=£5

Iluguru bought article for £5 originally
