Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we had a big animal sanctuary for cats and dogs.

We had say 30 cats and 50 dogs

So by proportion we have:  

Using format type 1

cats : dogs  

→

30

:

50

→

3

:

5

as ratio (proportions)

But for  

3

:

5

we have 3 parts in combination with 5 parts giving a proportion total of  

3

+

5

=

8

Converting this to fractions and hence percentage

Cats  

=

3

3

+

5

=

3

8

→

%

=

of the whole

Dogs  

=

3

+

of the whole

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

all of the whole

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using format type 2 - Fraction format

cats

dogs

→

30

50

→

3

5

←

This is NOT a fraction of the whole

Again we have  

cats

cats + dogs

→

the length of your garden must exceed the width of the garden by 3 feet. you only have 58 feet of fencing to go around the perim
DedPeter [7]
First let us represent
x-width
x+3-length

Since it has a width and length, we can say it is a rectangle so the formula for the perimeter of it is 2(l+w)

p=2(l+w)
58=2(x+3+x)
58=(2x+3)2
58=4x+6
52=4x
x=13

the width is 13 and the length is 16

Answer:

The maximum width of the pool must be 38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the length of the swimming pool

x ----> the width of the swimming pool

The perimeter of the swimming pool is

P=2(x+y)

we have

y=22\ ft

substitute

P=2(x+22)

P=2x+44

Remember that

The perimeter of the pool must be no more than 120 feet

so

The inequality that represent this scenario is

2x+44 \leq 120

Solve for x

2x \leq 120-44

2x \leq 76

x \leq 38\ ft

therefore

The maximum width of the pool must be 38 ft
