Perimeter of rectangle = length + length + width + width
To find the combinations, think of two numbers that each multiplied by 2 and added up to give 12 or 14
Rectangle with perimeter 12
Say we take length = 2 and width = 3
Multiply the length by 2 = 2 × 2 = 4
Multiply the width by 3 = 2 × 3 = 6
Then add the answers = 4 + 6 = 10
This doesn't give us perimeter of 12 so we can't have the combination of length = 2 and width = 3
Take length = 4 and width = 2
Perimeter = 4+4+2+2 = 12
This is the first combination we can have
Take length = 5 and width = 1
Perimeter = 5+5+1+1 = 12
This is the second combination we can have
The question doesn't specify whether or not we are limited to use only integers, but if it is, we can only have two combinations of length and width that give perimeter of 12
length = 4 and width = 2
length = 5 and width = 1

Rectangle with perimeter of 14
Length = 4 and width = 3
Perimeter = 4+4+3+3 = 14
Length = 5 and width = 2
Perimeter = 5+5+2+2 = 14
Length = 6 and width = 1
Perimeter = 6+6+1+1 = 14
We can have 3 different combinations of length and width
It’s either subtract 75 from both sides or divide both sides by 1/2 but I’m pretty sure it’s subtract 75 from both sides
Rate x time = distance
25 x 35/60 = distance (35/60 is 35 minutes out of an hour- 60 minutes)
25/1 x 7/12 = distance (I put the 25 over 1 and reduced 35/60)
175/12 ≈ 14.58 miles
Notice that the time had to be in a fraction of an hour in order to do this.
