The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 in. If the length is twice the width, what is the length of the rectangle?

Step one: We need to find the formula for perimeter. And we can't just say "count all the sides". How can we express it? It's length + length + width + width, right? Let's size that down a little bit. 2*length 2*width. We'll use w to express "width" and 2w to express "length".
2(w)+2(2w)=48.
6w=48.
w=8.
Since length is twice the width, 8*2 is 16. Length=16.

You can check it by substituting the different values for length and width into the equation 2w+2l=perimeter.
2(8)+2(16)=48. Is this true? Yep! So you know you're right.

3m = 3
Step 3- Divide both sides by 3

25 is what percent of 20?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

20 is 80% of 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 25 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 25, so we can write it down as 100%=25.

4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=25

2) x%=20

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=25/20

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 25

100%/x%=25/20

(100/x)*x=(25/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x

100/1.25=x

80=x

x=80
