Let's say:
lengh=x
width=y

"The length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than the width."
That means: x=y+4 (in inches).

the parameter is (by definition) 2*lenght+2*width.

so we have 2*x+2y=24.
we also know that x=y+4

Substituting:

2*(y+4)+2y=24.
2*y+8+2y=24
4*y+8=24//substitute 8 from both sides
4*y=16//dividing both sides by 4.

y=4
So the width is 4!

The lenght is y+4=8!
the dimensions are 4 by 8.
(check: 2*4+2*8=24, correct!)

Rob peeled 125 oranges in 5 hours. At that rate, how many oranges<br> would he peel in 12 minutes?
marin [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 5 \ oranges}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion.

\frac{oranges}{minutes} =\frac{oranges}{minutes}

He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{oranges}{minutes}

We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{x \ oranges}{12 \ minutes}

\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 }

Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 \ }*12

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=x

12*0.416666667=x

5=x

Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.
