QUESTION : $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{24}{a}$ . What I would do is divide 24 by 3, and once you do that, your answer is 8. So that leads you to the conclusion that 8 is multiplied by 3 to get 24. Move down to the 5 and the a. If the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by 8 to get the numerator of the second fraction, then you can sure as heck believe that the same applies to both denominators.

So I would say you multiply 5 with 8. 5 × 8 is 40, and so a = 40.

The length of the rectangular basketball court is 44 feet more than the width. If the perimeter of the basketball court is 288 f

Temka [501]

Let's first say that L=W+44

and then remember that perimeter is P=2L+2W

replace the L with W+44

we then get P=2(W+44)+2W, now I'll solve it

P=2W+88+2W
P=4W+88

substitute 288 for P

288=4W+88
200=4W
50=W

so now we now how wide the court is. add 44 to find the length which gives you L=94

as always plug the numbers back into your perimeter equation to ensure L and W are correct
