Answer:

<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.

let us convert hours to minutes we have

60 min make 1 hour

x min make 8 hours

cross multiply

x= 60*8

x= 480 min

We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows

so if the bricklayer sets

2.5 bricks in 1min

y bricks in 480 min

Cross multiply we have

y=2.5*480

y= 1200 bricks

hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks

The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. The perimeter is 96 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 14'8", and the length is 33'4"

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given two pieces of information:

The length is eight more than twice the width:

$l = 2w + 4$

The perimeter is 96 feet:

$p = 96$

We also need to apply one more piece of information that is not provided here, and that is the relationship between the perimeter of a rectangle, and it's length and width:

$p = 2l + 2w$
