Answer:

Length: 116

Width: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the width of carpet is x. If the length of the carpet is 95 inches more than the width, then let's say that the width is x + 95.

Since we are solving for the perimeter, you have to multiply the width and the length(x and x + 95) by two.

So,

2x + 2x + 190 = 274.

Simplify this and you get:

4x= 274 - 190

4x = 84

x= 21

So, the width is 21. This means that the length is 21 + 95.

21 + 95 = 116

so there are 60 minutes in an hour

Lori needs at least 12 liters of water to fill a water cooler. She has a container with 4.55 liters of
Stels [109]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Yes, she has enough water.</u>

Explanation:

To <em>estimate</em> the value, you can work with friendly numbers: numbers closed to the given numbers and with which you can perform easy mental calculations.

For example 4.55 may be rouned to 5, 4.85 may be rounded to 5, and 3.25 may be rounded to 3. That yields 5 + 5 + 3 = 13

Then, it seems you have about 13 liters. Is the final number equal or greater than 12 for sure?

To round 4.55 to 5 you increased the amount in 0.45, to round 4.85 to 5 you increased the amount by 0.15, and to round 3.25 to 3 you decreased the amount in 0.25.

What was the net change in your values: 0.45 + 0.15 - 0.25 = 0.60 - 0.25 = 0.35. Those are easy calculations that you can perform in your mind.

That means that you increased your total in less than 1 liter. Meaning that the final total is overestimated by 0.35, and that if you used the real amounts to make the calculations, the total will be still more than 12.
