Answer:

15 gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 3 miles per hour or 5 meter per seconds.

As per the statement:

It took Lou 2\frac{1}{2} gallons of paint to paint one fence.

\text{Unit rate per fence}= \frac{\text{Number of gallons of paint}}{\text{number of fences}}

Substitute the given value we have;

\text{Unit rate per fence}= \frac{\frac{5}{2} }{1} = \frac{5}{2} gallons.

We have to find how many gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

By definition of unit rate;

\text{Number of gallons to paint 6 fences}= \text{Unit rate per fence} \times 6

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Number of gallons to paint 6 fences}= \frac{5}{2} \times 6 = 5 \times 3 = 15

Therefore, 15 gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

Find m <br> we learned this last week and I forgot, please help!
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean find x, not m.

since angle DEG and angle GEF are a linear pair, they equal 180º.

18x-9 + 4x+13 = 180

22x + 4 = 180

subtract 4 from each side

22x = 176

divide each side by 22

x=8

A rectangle has an area of 120 square cm. Its length and width are whole numbers. List the possible dimensions of the rectangle.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of rectangle = 120 cm²

Assume ; Length and width are whole numbers

Possible dimension of the rectangle will be :

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

Area = 120cm²

Possible dimensions :

80cm by 1 cm

40cm by 2cm

20cm by 4cm

10cm by 8cm

5cm by 16cm

Possibility which gives the smallest perimeter :

Dimension = 10cm by 8cm

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of Rectangle :

= 2(10 + 8)cm

= 2(18)cm

= 36cm
