Adding a negative is same as subtraction
-5+78-32
73-32
41
The anwser would be -15
3 x (-5) = -15
Solution,
We have,
Width of rectangle, b = (2.5u+9.8) cm
Length of rectangle, l = (1.5u+3.9) cm
We need to find the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
P = 2[(2.5u+9.8)+(1.5u+3.9)]
Collecting like terms
P = 2[(2.5u+1.5u)+(9.8+3.9)]
P=2(4u+13.7)
⇒ P = 8u+27.4
So, the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is (8u+27.4) cm.
Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.
Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of 4 Boys & 3 Girls
