Answer:

7 inches and 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length the length and width of the rectangle be l and b.

Accodrding to question,

Width, b = l-2

Perimeter, P = 24 inches

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

24 = 2(l+l-2)

12 = 2l-2

14=2l

l = 7 inches

Width, b = 7-2 = 5 inches

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 inches and 5 inches respectively.

Answer as mixed number (if possible)
Fiesta28 [93]
You're looking for 2/9 of 3/6 which means you are solving 3/6 ÷ 2/9.

When I was in sixth grade, my teacher always said "Dividing fractions, easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply." At the time, I thought I was too old for stuff like that, but now, I'm in ninth grade, and I haven't forgotten it. If you learn one thing, learn fractions, and learn them well because they never leave.

Anyway, 3/6 ÷ 2/9 becomes 3/6 × 9/2. Another thing from my teacher: "Multiplying fractions, no big problem. Top times top over bottom times bottom." So, 3 × 9 = 27 and 6 × 2 = 12. 27/12.

To make that a mixed number, do 27 ÷ 12. 12 goes in 2 times. This is the big number in your mixed number, your coefficient. Then you have 3 left over. (12 × 2 = 24. 27 - 24 = 3.) This is your numerator. And 12 is still your denominator.

Your answer is 2 3/12, which simplifies to 2 1/4.
