Answer:
A rectangle is defined by its length = L, and its width = W.
So the perimeter of the of the rectangle can be written as:
Perimeter = 2*L + 2*W.
In this case, we want to leave the perimeter fixed, so we have:
24ft = 2*L + 2*W.
Now, we do not have any other restrictions, so to know the different dimensions now we can write this as a function, by isolating one of the variables.
2*L = 24ft - 2*W
L = 12ft - W.
or:
L(W) = 12ft - W.
Such that:
W must be greater than zero (because we can not have negative or zero width).
And W must be smaller than 12ft (because in that case we would have zero or negative length)
Then the possible different dimensions are given by:
L(W) = 12ft - W
0ft < W < 12ft.
1 gal = 4 quarts
3 gal = 4 * 3 = 12 quarts
12 / 2 = 6 pitchers

Answer:
2/3 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
We have the following data
1/2 gallons is the same as 0.5 gallons
hence 0.5 gallons will cover 3/4 of his deck
x gallons will cover 1 of his deck
cross multiply we have
3/4*x = 0.5*1 gallons
3x/4= 0.5
3x= 2
divide both sides by 3
x= 2/3
Hence 2/3 gallons will cover the entire deck
