The perimeter doesn't tell you the dimensions.

With a 40-ft perimeter, there an infinite number of possibilities
for the length and with.  The only thing we know for sure is that
the sum of (length + width) is 20-ft.

The field could be . . .

1'  by  40'
2'  by  20'
3'  by  13-1/3 '
4'  by  10'
5'  by  8'
6'  by  6-2/3 '

A system of equations for this would be

19x + 11y = 273

and

12x + 17y = 283.

X is the amount of minutes to solve one long division problem and y is the amount of minutes to solve a graphing problem.

How To Solve This System of Equations.

Multiply both by 17 and 11 respectively for them to have the greatest common factor for y. So now both equations are:

323x + 187y= 4641

132x + 187y= 3113.

Subtract both equations and you have left:

191x = 1528.

Divide both sides by 191 and you find x.

X = 8.

Answer

It takes Sally 8 minutes to do one Long Division Problem.


Hope this helped. ;)

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.
