Answer:

The answer to your question is width = 9 yd, length = 13 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 44 yd

Length = l

Width = w

l + 5 = 2w

Process

1.- Write the formula of the perimeter

       P = 2l + 2w

2.- Substitute l in the Perimeter equation

       l = 2w - 5

       P = 2(2w - 5) + 2w

       P = 4w - 10 + 2w

       P = 6w - 10

-Substitution

        44 = 6w - 10

         44 + 10 = 6w

          54 = 6w

           w = 54/6

           w = 9 yd

3.- Find l

      l = 2(9) - 5

      l = 18 - 5

      l = 13 yd

Answer:

The length is 13ft and the width is 9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to make 2 equations one that shows the relationship of width and length and another that shows the calculation of the perimeter

l = length

w = width

l = 2w - 5

2w + 2l = 44

replace in the second equation the value of l with (2w - 5)

2w + 2l = 44

2w + 2(2w - 5) = 44

2w + 4w - 10 = 44

2w + 4w = 44 + 10

6w = 54

w = 54/6

w = 9

we replace in the first equation the value of w with what we previously obtained

l = 2w - 5

l = 2*9 - 5

l = 18 - 5

l = 13

The length is 13ft and the width is 9ft

Jim drank 245 cups of orange juice and Jack drank 1110 cups less than Jim.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim drank 2 and 4/5 orange juice

2and 4/5=14/5 orange juice

jack drank  1and 1/10 less than Jim= 11/10 less than Jim

I introduce the whole numbers into the fractions

we will convert the number 14/5 into a fraction that has the denominator 10, by multiplying by 2 both numerator and denominator

(14/5 )*2=28/10

Now we can find out how much juine Jack drank

28/10- 11/10= 17/10

so Jack drank 17/10 orange juice , the fraction can be written also as

1 and 7/10

If y = 8 cm, what is the area of the blue section of this shape?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

56 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first: Cop one triangle off the rectangle, and attach it to the other one, so the shape looks like a L

Now I can actually solve this:

The left side is 8 cm (because y = 8 cm)

The top is 10 cm

The middle is 6 cm

The inside left is 3 cm

And the very bottom is 2 cm

First, we'll solve for the newly constructed rectangle: 3 x 2. That equals 6.

Next, solve for the longer rectangle: 10 x 5. That's 50.

Now, add the two areas, and we get 56. So the area of the whole thing is 56 cm squared.

(Please keep in mind that I could be wrong, so double check it for me, thanks!)
