Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".
We are given that:
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15
Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31
Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm
160 people x 4 ladle/1 person = 640 ladles full
640 ladles x 1 person/5 ladles = 128 people fed
Answer:
11/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/2 can be re-written as 6/4. they now have the same denominator. 6/4 + 5/4 = 11/4
