The perimeter is the sum of all a shapes sides.
so if length is two times the width, you could write it as 2w.
2w + 2w + w + w = 42. Simplified, it's 6w = 42.
Divide both sides by 6, and you get w = 7.
Since the length is 2w, 2 * 7 = 14, so the length is 14
Area of rectangle is length * width, so do 14 * 7 which is 98. Slap on some units and your answer is 98 sq m
Why not write all of the numbers in decimal fraction form, to make them easier to compare?
68 2/3 = 68.666...
72 1/2 = 72.500
68 3/10 = 68.300
74 7/11 = 74.636...
68 1/2 = 68.500
550/8 = 68.750
Now ask yourself: Which of the last four numbers is between 68.666.. and 72.500?
Answer:
One rose bush = $3
One bunch of ornamental grass = $4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a system of equations to solve for this. Let cost of 1 rose bush be r and cost of 1 ornamental grass be g. Thus we can form 2 equations:
We can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate g. Thus, we have:
Thus, 1 rose bush is $3. Now plugging in r = 3 into the first original equation, we can solve for g:
Thus, 1 bunch of ornamental grass is $4.
