Answer:

The dimensions of the original rectangle are Length =12cm, Width=8cm

Step-by-step explanation

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width of the rectangle be y

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40cm.

2(x+y)=40

Divide both sides by 2

x+y=20

If the length were doubled(2x) and the width halved(y/2), the perimeter would be increased by 16cm,i.e.(40+16)cm

Therefore:

Divide both sides by 2

From the first equation, x=20-y.

Substitute x=20-y into

A tree's height increase by 15%. If a tree is 23 feet high, how tall will it be in one year ?
Ghella [55]

Increased height:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 23\times 15\%

\\ \sf\longmapsto 23\times \dfrac{15}{100}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{345}{100}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3.45

Now current height:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 23+3.45=26.45ft

Alik [6]

Answer:

1,135 people

For every 100 people only 45 people watch more than 10 hours per week. So, the ratio is (45/100), since the company has 2500 we want to know what (x/2500) is. The total ratio becomes (1,135/2,500).

The number is found by dividing 2500 by 100 to receive the common factor of 25. You multiply 45 by 25 to receive your total answer.
