Answer: Length = 40 inches
Width = 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the package be represented by x.
Since the length of the package must be twice its width, therefore the length will be: = 2 × x = 2x
Since the sum of the dimensions equals 60 inches. This will then be:
x + 2x = 60.
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
Therefore, the width = 20 inches
Length = 2x = 2 × 20 = 40 inches
The dimensions should be 40 by 20 inches.
