Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

b = breadth

We know the length is twice the breadth, therefore l = 2b

We also know that the perimeter p = 60m and can also be expressed as a sum of its sides where p = l + l + b + b = 60 which simplified is:

60 = 2l + 2b

Now we have 2 variables, but thankfully we were given a ratio (l = 2b) relating the two. Substituting 2b in for l gives us:

60 = 2(2b) + 2b = 4b + 2b = 6b

60 = 6b

b = 10 m

Now that we know the breadth we can find the length:

l = 2b → l = 2(10) = 20 → l = 20 m

With a breadth of 10 m and a length of 20 m

A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water. Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fration or mixed

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water.

To find - Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fraction or mixed number

Proof -

Let the capacity of water = x

Given that,

A mug is $\frac{1}{8}$ full of water

⇒Total cups of water in the mug = $\frac{1}{8} x$

Now,

Given that, The mug contains $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water.

∴ we get

$\frac{1}{8} x$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

⇒x = $\frac{1}{6}$ × 8

= $\frac{8}{6}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ = $1\frac{1}{3}$

⇒x = $1\frac{1}{3}$

∴ we get

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups

Determine whether the number is a perfect square 47

Ghella [55]

Perfect squares are n² where n is a whole number
whole numbers are like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, etc
no decimal or fractions

we can do that be looking at the perfect squares we know
2²=4
3²=9
4²=16
5²=25
6²=36
7²=49
8²=64
etc

so we see 47 is between 6² and 7²
therefor, for n²=47, n is between 6 and 7 and is therfore not a whole number
that makes 47 not a perfect square
