Answer:
A. length = 23 cm; width = 5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
So if 4 times the width would be 
and 3 more than would be 
, the equation would be 
. If the perimeter is 56, then the new equation, 
can be formed. This simplifies to 
, then to 
, then to 
, and finally, 
. So the width is 5, and now plug it into the first equation.
, becomes 
, becomes 
.
So the dimensions are: length = 23 cm, width = 5 cm.
*And just to be sure, 
which is correct.
Answer:
1/4 * 1/8 = 1/32 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 * 1/8 = 1/32inch
Answer:
33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations...
Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution
Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution
We need 50 liters total, so
x + y = 50
and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so
0.4x = 0.25y = 0.35(50)
Solve the first equation for one variable...
x = 50 - y (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)
Now substitute that value into the second equation...
0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5 (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)
Now solve for y...
20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5
-0.15y = -2.5
y = 16.66666667
y = 16 2/3 L
So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'
x + 16 2/3 = 50
x = 50 - 16 2/3
x = 33 1/3
I think its 2.8.
Reason why:
4/5 = 0.8
Then the 2 would a whole number...
so 2.8.
