Ratio of girls : boys = 5 : 4
<u>Find total parts:</u>
Total parts = 5 + 4 = 9
<u>Find 1 part:</u>
9 parts = 36
1 part = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
<u>Find 5 parts (Girls):</u>
Girls = 5 parts = 4 x 5 = 20
Answer: There are 20 girls.
So we can setup variable equations for this:
so we're given that the length is 22feet longer than the width!
so as an expression length is equal to 22+w
and width as an expression is just w
so the formula for the perimeter for a rectangle is 2l+2w=perimeter
so fill it in now!
1616=2(22+w)+2w
1616=44+2w+2w
1616=44+4w
1572=4w
divide by four..
w=393
and length is simply 22 more than that as stated in the question!
so length is 415
dimensions are: 415x393
4a+2 because you divide 16a+8 by 4 because a square has 4 sides
The answer will be 250 because you divide 2 by 500
