Answer:

The rectangle has a width of 18 inches and a height length of 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is described by the equation:

p = 2w + 2l

where <em>l</em> is width, <em>h</em> is height, and <em>p</em> is perimeter.

We're also told that the total perimeter is 52 inches.

We're also told that the length is six inches less than three times the width.  We can express that as w = 3l - 6.

We can plug that definition of w into the perimeter equation to find the length:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2(3l - 6) + 2 * l\\52 = 6l - 12 + 2l\\52 + 12 = 8l\\8l = 64\\l = 64/8\\l = 8

Now we can take that and the given perimeter, and substitute those into the perimeter equation to find the width:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2w + 2(8)\\52 = 2w + 16\\36 = 2w\\w = 36 / 2\\w = 18

So the width is 18

If you put them into fractions you get 4/3 and 3/2

Now let's give them the same denominator.

3*2=6 and vice versa

So let's multiply the numerators by the same numbers

4/3= 8/6

And 3/2 = 9/6

The second fraction has more parts cranberry so....
She you should ask for 3 cranberry cubes and 2 Apple cubes!
