Answer:

The width is 9.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter for a rectangle is given by

P = 2 (l+w)

43.8 = 2 (12.4+w)

Divide each side by 2

21.9 = 12.4+w

Subtract 12.4 from each side

21.9-12.4 = w

9.5 = w

The width is 9.5 ft

The sum of two numbers is 30. If three times the smaller number is equal to two times the bigger one, find the numbers.

MAVERICK [17]

Let the smaller number be x and the bigger number be y.
Therefore, 3x = 2y $= > x = \frac{2y}{3}$ $x + y = 30 \\ = > \frac{2y}{3} + y = 30 \\ = > \frac{2y + 3y}{3} = 30 \\ = > \frac{5y}{3} = 30 \\ = > y = \frac{30 \times 3}{5} \\ = > y = 18$
Therefore, the smaller number = 30 - 18 = 12
