12:8 can also be written as $\boxed{ \frac{12}{8}}$ To find the percent you have to do 12÷8 and that equals 1.5, then you have to do 1.5×100 and that equals 150. The ratio, 12:8 as a percent is 150%

A rectangular garden is fenced on all sides with 256 feet of fencing. The garden is 8feet longer than it is wide. Find the lengt

Marina86 [1]

Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256

"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W

we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W

distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256

add like terms
16 + 4W = 256

subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240

divide both sides by 4
W = 60

plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now

L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68

therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60

Factor the expression using the GCF. 18x + 24y.

Georgia [21]

Answer: 6(3x + 4y)

1. Find the GCF (the largest number that goes into both 18x AND 24y). This would be 6.

2. Factor out the 6 by dividing each of the terms by the GCF
18x/6 = 3x
24y/6 = 4y

3. Write as a factored expression
6(3x + 4y)
