Answer: Length = 40 inches

Width = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the package be represented by x.

Since the length of the package must be twice its width, therefore the length will be: = 2 × x = 2x

Since the sum of the dimensions equals 60 inches. This will then be:

x + 2x = 60.

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

Therefore, the width = 20 inches

Length = 2x = 2 × 20 = 40 inches

The dimensions should be 40 by 20 inches.

andriy [413]

Answer:

D.)Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find out how much Gym B charges for a full hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Divide this by 5 to determine how many 5 minute increments are in an hour: 12. A parent paying for 1 hour of child care will need to make 12 payments of .75. 12 times .75 equals $9.00. This means that both gyms charge the same amount per hour.

If the value of y varies directly with x and y= -1 when x=3, find y if x=9

Zolol [24]

y = - 3

Since y varies directly as x then

y = kx ← ( k is the constant of variation )

to find k use y = - 1 when x = 3

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{-1}{3}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$
