Mathematics
1 answer:
Scrat [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>There are 72 crayons in the box</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.

Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:

1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}

From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.

We write 35% as a fraction:

\displaystyle 35\%=\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}

Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:

\displaystyle \frac{7}{20}\cdot \frac{5}{9}=\frac{7}{36}

This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:

\displaystyle x=\frac{14}{\frac{7}{36}}=14\cdot\frac{36}{7}

x = 72

There are 72 crayons in the box

A rectangle has a width, w, equal to 6 less than the length, l. Which expressions represent ways to find the perimeter of the re
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

4L-12

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume the length = L

then the width of the rectangle is L - 6

perimeter = 2× (a+b)

where "a" and "b" are the length and the width of the rectangle.

so perimeter = 2× (L + L - 6)

2 × ( 2L - 6)

4L - 12
