Answer:

  • Length = 43 inches
  • Width = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.

Assume the width is x. Length is:

4x - 5

Equation is therefore:

2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110

4x - 5 + x = 110/2

5x - 5 = 55

5x = 55 + 5

x = 60/5

x = 12 inches

If width is 12 inches, then length is:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 12 -5

= 43 inches

Esteban has a big jar of change in his room. He has 600 coins total, and 240
elixir [45]
  You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.

A kayaker spends a morning paddling on a river. She travels 9 miles upstream and 9 miles downstream in a total of 6 hours. In st
tresset_1 [31]
To answer this item, we have 4 as the speed of the kayaker in still water and the speed of current be y.

When the karayaker moves upstream or against the current, his speed would be 4 - y. Further, if he moves downstream or with the current, the total speed would be 4 + y. The time utilized for the travel is equal to the ratio of the distance and the speed. 

 Total time = 9/(4 - y)  + 9/(4 + y) = 6

We multiply the equation by (4-y)(4+y)
              9(4-y) + 9(4 + y) = 6(4-y)(4+y)

Simplifying,
                72 = 96 - 6y²
Transposing all the constants to only one side of the equation and rearranging,
               6y² = 96 - 72
                 y² = 4
                    y = 2

Hence, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles/hr. <em>The answer is letter B.) 2 miles/hour.</em>
