5 mph to get that answer you use the speed equation
speed(mph)=distance(in miles)/time(in hours)
2.5
------ = 5 mph
.5
15/35
3/7 the answer is 3/7 which is written in the lowest terms
Answer:
<u>7 groups of 8 = 6 groups of 8 plus 1 group of 8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:
7 groups of 8 = 6 groups of 8 plus ?
2. Let's answer the question, this way:
How much are 7 groups of 8? 56 = 7 * 8
How much are 6 groups of 8? 48 = 6 * 8
What is the difference between 7 groups of 8 and 6 groups of 8?
(7 - 6 ) * 8 = 1 * 8
Therefore,
<u>7 groups of 8 = 6 groups of 8 plus 1 group of 8</u>
ANSWER: L=13; W=9
--Please read this explanation and this will be much easier for you, it took time to type..
Set up variables first. I will lead through how to get the answer.
First get variables. So, what is Perimeter? Perimeter is like so:
P = 2L + 2W = 44ft
Now instead of using P, we'll continue with
2L + 2W = 44 because this can be used to help answer the question better than P.
"Length of the patio is 5 ft less than twice the width"
So it says "length of the patio", so we put
L =
"5 ft less than twice the width"
L = 2W - 5
Now we know what L is, and we can plug this in to our first equation!
2L + 2W = 44
L = 2W - 5
Multiply by 2...
2L = 4W - 10
Plug in...
4W - 10 (2L see?) + 2W = 44
Rearrange...
4W + 2W - 10 = 44
And solve...
=6W - 10 = 44
=6W = 44 + 10
=6W = 54
=6W/6 = 54/6
=W = 9
Now we have W. Plug this into our other equation.
L = 2W - 5
L = 2*9 - 5
L = 18 - 5
L = 13
The length of the patio is 13 ft and the width of the patio is 9 ft.
