Well, we should start by listing the factors

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,24,36,72

You can put these in pairs if it will help you,

1*72  2*36  3*24  4*16  6*12  8*9

If you look, you can see that in only one pair the length is twice the width.

So your answer is

W=6

L=12

Margarita [4]

Answer:

b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it's downstream and upstream speed be d and u respectively

also speed of the boat be b and speed of stream be c.

as per question d = 150/10= 15 miles/hr

and, u= 150/30= 5 miles/hr

also we know d= b+c = 15.....i and u = b-c= 5....ii

solving i and ii we get b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

How many minutes and seconds worth of songs do you have?
PolarNik [594]

Question 1:

48 + 63 + 28 + 44 + 43 = 226 minutes

41 + 40 + 15 + 1 + 39 = 136 seconds

136 seconds = 2 minutes and 16 seconds

The answer is 228 minutes and 16 seconds.

Question 2: 228 minutes = 3 hours and 48 minutes

The answer is 3 hours and 48 minutes, but if you're also counting seconds, add 16 seconds to the end of it.
