Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
l = 12 feet, w = 5.5
Discussion:
Let w be the width of the pen and "l" the length. From the problem statement
l = w + 6.5 and the perimeter, P, of the fence -= 35.
Now the perimeter of the rectangle is given by the formula
P = 2l + 2w.
In our case, P = 35 and l = w + 6.5 so the equation becomes:
35 = 2(w+6.5) + 2w =>
35 = 2w + 13 + 2w =>
35 = 4w + 13 => (subtract 13 from both sides)
35-13 = 4w =>
22 = 4w =>
w = 22/4 = 5.5 feet
As, l = w + 6.5, l = 5.5 + 6.5 = 12 feet
Thank you,
MrB

It is the lowest amount that can be reached.
Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly. If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players. For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.
The equivalent expression would be S = 4F
The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing. It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.
The equivalent expression would be S = F + 4
That being said: An equivalent ratio to 4:1 would be 8:2 , 12:3, 16:4, ...
Think of the ratio as a fraction. 4:1 = 4/1
4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
If you want just 1430/75 in fraction form then:
after you divide it by 5.
If you want the divided number in fraction form then:
both give the same answer so it doesn't matter.
