Answer:
9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Turn the equation into a fraction: 4.5/1
2. Multiply top and bottom by two: 9/2
No because mixed numbers need atleast a one and a fraction to be a mixed number
Here is the answer the app is called cymath btw
Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
