A rectangular sheet of paper has a perimeter of 60cm. When it is folded in half along its longer line of symmetry, the perimeter

of the rectangle which this creates is 49cm. What are the dimensions of the original shape?

Answer:

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Length = x

Width = y

Original rectangle:

2(Length + width) = 60

2x + 2y = 60

New rectangle has same length with original rectangle but half of the width of the original rectangle when folded

Length = x

Width = 1/2y

2(Length + 1/2width) = 49

2x + y = 49

2x + 2y = 60 (1)

2x + y = 49 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate x

2y - y = 60 - 49

y = 11

Substitute y = 11 into (2)

2x + y = 49

2x + 11 = 49

2x = 49 - 11

2x = 38

x = 38/2

x = 19

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Talja [164]

Answer:

10.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethan's favorite kind of exercise is running. He runs on a path that is 1.75 miles long. Last week, Ethan ran on the path 6 times.

The number of miles that Ethan ran on the path last week is calculated as:

Number of miles × Number of times he ran

= 1.75 miles × 6 times

= 10.5 miles

Therefore, the number of miles that Ethan ran on the path last week is 10.5 miles

A girl ran to the store at a speed of 6mph, and walked back at 4mp. If her round trip took 15 minutes, how far away is the store
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the store is x miles away, she walks to the store in a hours, and she walks back in b hours.

First, her total time = time walked there + time walked back = a + b = 15 minutes = 1/4 of an hour = 0.25 hours

a + b = 0.25 (because a and b are in hours)

distance = speed * time

x = 6 miles/hour * a hours = 6a miles

x = 4 miles/hour * b hours = 4b miles

If we can find a or b, we can find x.

4b = x = 6a

4b = 6a

a + b = 0.25

We now have two equations with two variables. Using substitution, we can solve for one of them

a + b = 0.25

subtract a from both sides to find b

0.25 - a = b

plug that into the other equation, 4b = 6a

4(0.25-a) = 6a

1 - 4a = 6a

add 4a to both sides to isolate a and its coefficient

1 = 10a

divide both sides by 10 to solve for s

a = 1/10 of an hour = 0.1 of an hour = 60 minutes / 10 = 6 minutes

6a = x

6(0.1) = x

0.6 = x

the store is 0.6 miles away

The two-way table is attached.

We start out placing 31 in the Total column beside the Don't Play Baseball row.  We then place 16 in the Total row under the Play Football column.  20 goes in the Don't Play Baseball row under the Don't Play Football column.

Since there are 31 people that do not play baseball, and 20 of them don't play football, this leaves us with 31-20=11 that do not play baseball and play football.

There are 58 people total, so this goes in the Total row under the Total column.

There are 58 people, and 31 of them do not play baseball; this leaves us 58-31=27 total that play baseball.

16 total people play football, and 11 of them don't play baseball.  This leaves us 16-11=5 people that play football and play baseball.

There are 58 people, and 16 of them play football; this leaves us 58-16=42 total that don't play football.

42 people don't play football, and 20 of them don't play baseball; this leaves us 42-20=22 people that don't play football and play baseball.

5 people play baseball and play football, and 22 people play baseball and don't play football; this gives us 5+22=27 people total that play baseball.
