Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of students in cooking club = x

Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x

Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x

Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club

Then ;

Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42

2(1/5)x = x - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

-0.6x = - 42

x = 42 / 0.6

x = 70

Hence, number of students in chess club :

(2/5) * 70 = 28

Bobby knows that the perimeter of the original rectangle is 120 meters. He also knows that the perimeter of the reduced rectangl
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

<u>24 meters</u> is the width of the original rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bobby knows that the perimeter of the original rectangle is 120 meters. He also knows that the perimeter of the reduced rectangle is 30 meters and the reduced rectangle has a length of 9 meters.

Now, to get the width of original rectangle.

The reduced rectangle's perimeter = 30 meters.

The reduced rectangle's length = 9 meters.

Now, we find the width of reduced rectangle by using formula:

Let the width of reduced rectangle be x.

Perimeter=2\times length+2\times width

30=2\times 9+2\times x

30=18+2x

<em>Subtracting both sides by 18 we get:</em>

<em />12=2x<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

6=x\\\\x=6\ meters.

The width of reduced rectangle = 6 meters.

Now, to get the width of original rectangle:

Let the width of original rectangle be w.

<em>As given, the perimeter of the original rectangle = 120 meters.</em>

<em>And, the perimeter of reduced rectangle is 30 meters and its width is 6 meters.</em>

<em>So, 30 is equivalent to 6.</em>

<em>Thus, 120 is equivalent to </em>w.<em />

Now, to get the width using cross multiplication method:

\frac{30}{6}=\frac{120}{w}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em />30w=720<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 30 we get:</em>

<em />w=24\ meters.<em />

<em>The width of original rectangle = 24 meters.</em>

Therefore, 24 meters is the width of the original rectangle.
