Answer:
Original garden: 42 feet
Enlarged garden: 98 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = length (2) + width (2)
<u>Original perimeter:</u>
P = 15(2) + 6(2)
P = 30 + 12
P = 42 feet
In this problem, similar is proportional, so the new garden will be proportional to the old one.
If the original length was 15 and the new length is 35, then 15 would have had to have been multiplied by 2 1/3. That means you need to multiply 6 by 2 1/3, which is 14. That means the dimensions of the enlarged yard is 14 (width) × 35 (length).
<u>Enlarged perimeter</u>
P = 35(2) + 14(2)
P = 70 + 28
P = 98 feet
Answer: Multiplying and Dividing Decimals by Powers of 10
When you divide a decimal by a power of 10, simply move the decimal place to the left as many places as there are 0s in the power of 10.
Answer:
red = 28 apples
green = 13 apples
equations:
r + g = 41
r = g + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
r = number of red
g = number of green
r = g + 15 (the number of red apples is 15 more than the number of green apples)
r + g = 41
Substitute the firs equation into the second and solve for a numerical value of g
(g + 15) + g = 41
2g + 15 = 41
2g = 26
g = 13
Now solve for a numerical value of r
r = g + 15
r = 13 + 15
r = 28
checking the math:
r + g = 41
28 + 13 = 41

3y = 6
Product means multiply so 3 multiplied by y is 3y which is equal to 6. :)
