Answer:

45.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the number Malachy was thinking of is <em>x</em>.

Doubling it gives 2x, which we see also equals 91.6. Set these equal to each other:

2x = 91.6

To solve, we divide both sides by 2 and get x = 45.8, which is our answer.

ycow [4]

Answer:

4/9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf length = 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2} \ miles$

$\sf Width \ of \ rectangle = \dfrac{Area}{length}$

$\sf = \dfrac{2}{3} \div \ \dfrac{3}{2}\\\\ =\dfrac{2}{3}*\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\ =\dfrac{4}{9} \ miles\\$

Tried to do this one on my own but still dont get how to do it.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

238

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must find the ratio between the one measurement of the larger octagon and the smaller octagon. Just divide 28 by 4 to get 7. This is what you have to multiply the perimeter by to get the larger octagon's perimeter. 34 times 7 equals 238. There are multiple ways to do this problem but this way is the simplest.
