The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:
•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.
•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.
42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.
•l= 15.
Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.
To find the answer, divide 7.2 miles by 3 hrs, this would get you to answer B, 2.4 miles per hour
Answer: 13.375% per year
Explanation:
1) Depreciation is the loss of value: $ 20,000.00 - $ 14,650.00 = $ 5,350
2) The percent of depreciation is amount of the depreciation divided by the value of the car when purchased, times 100.
That is (5,350 / $ 20,000) * 100 = 26.75 %
2) The rate is percent of depreciation per year:
depreciation rate = % of depreciation / number of years = 26.75% / 2 = 13.375% per year.
