If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.
So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.
What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.
Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply the fraction by 6 and then you are able to cancel out and find the simplification
Answer:
1. 6
2.
pennies = 9
nickels = 5
quaters = 5
dimes = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
18/3 = 6
as we know that there are 18 scoops, and 3 per icecream, we can divide the two to get the number of ice creams
2.
5n
#n = #q; #q = 2#d, this is a simple ratio, you just plug in the variables to get
5n = 5q = 10d = 15 coins
24 - 15 = 9 pennies
pennies = 9
nickels = 5
quaters = 5
dimes = 10
Change 4.2 kilometers to meters, which is 4200 meters, then add that to 325, so 4525 :)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
On every 3 DVDs she rents, 1 DVD is received for free
Rent of each DVD = $3
Total amount paid = $114
Now,
The total number of DVDs she took on rent = 
or
The total number of DVDs she took on rent = 
or
The total number of DVDs she took on rent = 38
also,
For every 3 DVDs she gets 1 Free DVD
thus,
For every 1 DVD she gets 
free DVD
therefore,
For 38 DVD she gets 
free DVD
or
she gets 12.67 DVDs free
Since,
the DVDs cannot be given in fraction
Hence she will get 12 free DVDs
