Answer:

  • 10 cm and 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Set up the variables:

Let <u>x</u> represent the width; Then <u>2x</u> will represent the length.

b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?

<u>Use perimeter formula:</u>

  • P = 2( l + w)

As we set up w = x and l = 2x, and we know that the perimeter is 30 cm, we can build an equation by substituting the values we know or set up:

  • 30 = 2( 2x + x)

c) solve the equation

  • 30 = 2( 2x + x)
  • 30 = 2(3x)
  • 30 = 6x
  • x = 30/6
  • x = 5

d) the length and width are?

  • The width is 5 cm and the length is twice the width, 5*2 = 10 cm

A construction team gives an estimate of three months to repave a large stretch of a very busy road with their core crew of 9 pe
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

9 crew members complete a job in 3 months

Number of crew members is inversely proportion to construction time :

Let :

Crew members = m

Construction time = t

m α 1 /t

m = k/t

m = 9 ; t = 3

9 = k /3

k = 27

If t = 1 (one month)

m =?

m = k/t

m = 27 / 1

Hence;

m = 27 * 1

m = 27 workers

Is rolling doubles a simple event or compound event? Explain.<br><br><br> (rolling double dice)
nexus9112 [7]
You have to consider the sample space. In this example the sample space

is {1,2,3,4,5,6}

A simple event can be defined as a SINGLE outcome : Example getting a 3 OR 5 OR any other number from the sample space.

Now if you roll 1 dice & you want to get an even number (2,4,6) then you have chosen from the sample space 3 outcome & this is a compound event

Equally if you roll 2 dice and want to get "one" and/or "three" this is a compound event since you have chosen 2 outcome from the sample space.

Mind you, if you want 5 And 5 when rolling two dice it's a simple event because you have chosen ONE outcome from the sample space.

Hope this will help you to understand this kind of problem
