Ok let us assume x= the width of the table top
the length is 4 times the width meaning we are multiplying 4 and the width
which is x
length = 4x
your first equation would be the following:
4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is
if you drew a rectangle it would help you understand the above.
this represents the perimeter of the tabletop because we know the width is x. if you drew the rectangle there wouldn't be 1 width. opposite to the width is another line. same with the length. the length is 4x again there are 2 because in a rectangle there are 2 sets of parallel lines. that is why your equation would be 4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is- you could simplify this equation and write:
10x= whatever the perimeter is
x basically means 1x but in math we generally don't write that because we tend to write most things in simplest for.
hope this helps :)
For the first two, put it them over 100. So number 1 would be 34/100 or 17/50 reduced. Number 2 is 77.5/100 and since it is a decimal, I would keep it at over 100. Number 3 put 8/10 or 4/5 reduced and number 4 is different. Think of it as money and how a quarter is in relation to a dollar. You have 4 quarters in a dollar, so since you have .25%, it is 1/4.
Answer:
16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths
Add up the lengths as shown
3+2+1+2+3+1+1+3
