cancle y's

He length of a rectangle is three times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is at most 112 cm.

g100num [7]

The equation relating length to width
L = 3W
The inequality stating the boundaries of the perimeter
LW <= 112
When you plug in what L equals in the first equation into the second equation, you get
3W * W <= 112
evaluate
3W^2 <= 112
3W <= $4 \sqrt{7}$
W <= $\frac{4 \sqrt{7} }{3}$ cm

In a large apartment building, 35 of the apartments have a balcony and 55 do not.

Masteriza [31]

Hello!

You first have to find the total amount of apartments

35 + 55 = 90

There are 90 apartments

Then you find the percentage of them have a balcony

You do this by taking the amount of apartments that have a balcony over the total amount of apartments

35/90 = 0.39

0.39 as a percent is 39%

The answer is 39/100 or 39%

Hope this helps!
