82 kilograms divided by 0.10 = 8.2
82 kilograms + 8.2 kilograms = what the scale will really show which is 90.2

82 ÷ 0.10 = 8.2
82 + 8.2 = 90.2

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4 cm what is the area of the

garik1379 [7]

Let's call the width: w

the lenght is then 3w+4 ("4 more than 3 times the width")

and the parameter would be 2(w+3w+4), that is 2*(4w+4), that is 8w+8.

this is also equal to 18.4:

8w+8=18.4
8w=10.4
w=1.3

this is the width, and the lenght is:
4+3*1,3=4+3.9=7.9

and the area is their product:
1.3*7.9=10.27

Daryl's Oreo factory is able to produce 3/4 tons of Oreos in 1 1/2 weeks. At this rate, how long will it take to produce 2

dolphi86 [110]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} tons&weeks\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{3}{4}&1\frac{1}{2}\\\\ 2&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{4}~~}{2}=\cfrac{~~1\frac{1}{2}~~}{x}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{4}~~}{2}=\cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{x}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{4}~~}{\frac{2}{1}}=\cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{\frac{x}{1}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}=\cfrac{3}{2x}\implies 6x=24\implies x=\cfrac{24}{6}\implies x=4$

gregori [183]

Answer:

there are more magnets that longer than 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

From the photo, we can see that:

Length of the magnet:

1 inch there is 1 magnet
$1\frac{1}{2}$ inches there are 2 magnets
2 inches there are 3 magnets
3 inches there are 4 magnets
$3\frac{1}{2}$ there is 1 magnet
4 inches there are 2 magnets

=> the total number of magnets that longer than 2 1/2 are: 4+1+2 = 7

=> the total number of magnets that shorter than 2 1/2 are: 1+2+3 = 6

Hence, there are more magnets that longer than 2 1/2

Hope it will find you well.
