Answer:
$2.44/gal
Explanation:
$58.56/24gallon/
The answer is 12.
Steps
If that number is x
(3+x)/(8+x)=3/4
"Cross multply"
4(3+x)=3(8+x)
12+4x=24+3x
x=12
To check: add 12 to 3 and 8. 3+12=15 and 8+12=20. 15/20=3/4
The way to calculate the perimeter for this particular shape would be 3x15 being as there is three 15 inch sides and when we do the multiplication we get 45 so the perimeter is 45inches have a nice day and please mark brainliest
Answer:
Mark me as brainlist
Step-by-step explanation:
P = Perimeter
L = Length
W = Width
Perimeter of rectangle = L + L + W + W
or P = 2L + 2W
You know:
P = 36 inches
L = 2W [length is(=) 2 times it's width]
W = ?
P = 2L + 2W
Substitute/plug in what you know, plug in 2W for L since L = 2W
36 = 2(2W) + 2W Simplify
36 = 4W + 2W
36 = 6W Divide 6 on both sides
6 = W Now that you know the width, you can find the length:
L = 2W
L = 2(6)
L = 12
L = 12 in
W = 6 in
PROOF
P = 2(12) + 2(6)
P = 24 + 12
P = 36
