Answer:

One number is 17 and the other is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m and n.  Let m = (1/5)n.  Note that m+n = 18.

Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18.  Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85.  m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.

STatiana [176]

A rectangular school banner has a length of 44 inches, a perimeter of 156 inches, and an area of 1,496 square inches. the cheerleaders make signs similar to the banner. the length of a sign is 11 inches. First solve the width of the rectangle:

1496 sq in/ 44 = 34 in

So the sign has also a width of 34 in and a length of 11 so the area is 34*11 =374 sq in

<span>The perimeter is (34*2) +(11*2) =90 in</span>
