The length of flag is 760 feet and width of flag is 320 feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag

Since, the flag is generally of shape rectangle, we can use the formula of rectangle

Let "a" be the length of rectangle

Let "b" be the width of rectangle

The length is 440 ft greater than the width

Length = 440 + width

a = 440 + b ----- eqn 1

The perimeter of the flag is 2,160 ft

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Substituting the given values, we get

2160 = 2(440 + b + b)

2160 = 880 + 4b

4b = 2160 - 880

4b = 1280

b = 320

<em><u>Substitute b = 320 in eqn 1</u></em>

a = 440 + 320

a = 760

Thus the length of flag is 760 feet and width of flag is 320 feet

In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15. A jar of the chemical contains 750 of copper. How many grams of
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: it contains 200 grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15 = 4;15

Total ratio = 4+15= 19

We first find amount of both zinc and copper( the whole chemical)  which is equal to

ratio of copper / total ratio  x (the entire chemical--total grams of zinc and copper) =amount of copper

15/19 x X = 750

X= 750 X 19 / 15= 950 grams

To find amount of zinc in the chemical = ratio of zinc / total ratio x total amount of chemical

=4/19 x 950

=200 grams
