Answer:

Perimeter, P = 112 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the length of the rectangle be L.
  • Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = 6W  ...... equation 1

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Area of rectangle = 384 m²

To find the perimeter of the rectangle;

First of all, we would determine the dimensions of the rectangle using its area.

Mathematically, the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Area of rectangle = LW  ..... equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

384 = 6W(W)

384 = 6W²

Dividing both sides by 6, we have;

W² = 384/6

W² = 64

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

W = √64

Width, W = 8 meters

Next, we would find the length;

L = 6W

L = 6 * 8

Length, L = 48 meters

Lastly, we would determine the perimeter of the rectangle using the above dimensions;

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Perimeter, P = 2(48 + 8)

Perimeter, P = 2(56)

<em>Perimeter, P = 112 meters</em>

Answer

In decimal form it is 1.25 and in fraction form it 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There might be and there are other ways but the way I did it is I  converted the fractions to decimals. 1 3/4= 1.75, 1 1/2= 1.5, and 4 1/2 equals 4.5. So I added the time he practiced on Monday and Tuesday and subtracted it from the final hour of the whole entire week and the answer is 1.25 or 1/4
