The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is th

e width of the rectangle. Can the perimeter of the rectangle be 60 units when its width is 12 units and its length is 18 units?
A)No. If the rectangle has L = 18 and W = 12, P would not equal 60.
B) No. The rectangle cannot have P = 60 and L = 18 because L + W is less than 24.
C) Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because 60 = 24 + 18.
D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60.

Answer:

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is $P=2L+2W$ .

If the width is $W=12\:units$ and the length is $L=18\:units$ , then the perimeter becomes:

$P=2\times 12+2\times 18$ .

$\implies P=24+36$ .

$\implies P=60$ .

Therefore the answer is

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

A box of 42 chocolates contains milk and dark chocolates in the ratio of 3:4. How many chocolates of each type there are?

Elza [17]

<h2>Answer:The number of milk chocolates are 18 and the number of dark chocolates are 24.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of milk chocolates be $m$ .

Let the number of dark chocolates be $d$ .

Given that the box contains the milk and dark chocolates in the ratio $3:4$ .

So, $\frac{m}{d}=\frac{3}{4}$ ...(i)

Given that the total number of chocolates are $42$ .

So, $m+d=42$ . ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii),

$m+\frac{4}{3}m=42$

$\frac{7}{3}m=42$

$m=18$

$d=\frac{4}{3}m=\frac{4}{3}\times 18=24$

So,the number of milk chocolates are $18$ and the number of dark chocolates are $24$ .

(½) (6x + 3) = 7 – (3x + 1)

erastovalidia [21]

$\tt Step-by-step~explanation:$

To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.

$\tt Step~1:$

For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:

$\tt (0.5)(6x+3)=7-(3x+1)$

Let's distribute the 0.5 first.

$\tt 0.5*6x=3x\\0.5*3=1.5$

$\tt Step~2:$

Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.

$\tt -1*3x=-3x\\-1*1=-1$

Then, we simplify the entire expression.

$\tt 7-3x-1=-3x+6$

$\tt Step~3:$

Our equation now:

$\tt 3x+1.5=-3x+6$

Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.

$\tt 3x(+3x)+1.5=-3x (3x)+6\\6x+1.5=6$

$\tt Step~4:$

Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.

$\tt 6x+1.5(-1.5)=6(-1.5)\\6x=4.5$

$\tt Step~5:$

Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.

$\tt \frac{6x}{6} =x\\\frac{4.5}{6}= 0.75~or~\frac{3}{4}$

$\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~x=0.75~(or~\frac{3}{4})}$
