Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangles have congruent opposite side lengths. This means that if one of its longer sides were 2 1/3 feet and one of its shorter sides were 1 3/4 feet then the other longer side would also be 2 1/3 feet and the other shorter side would be 1 3/4 feet.
Therefore to find the perimeter, you would take the given side lengths and multiply them each by 2 to account for both of the congruent sides.
- 2(2 1/3) + 2(1 3/4) = perimeter of rectangle
To multiply these fractions they would have to be converted into improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator---keeping the denominator the same in the converted form.
Now you can multiply these fractions by 2. Multiply the numerators by 2 and keep the denominator the same.
- 2(7/3) + 2(7/4)
- 14/3 + 14/4
To add them they should have common denominators so multiply 14/3 by 4/4 and 14/4 by 3/3.
- 14/3 (4/4) = 56/12
- 14/4 (3/3) = 42/12
Add 54/12 and 42/12 together by combining the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.
You can simplify this improper fraction even more by dividing 96 by 12 since 12 is a factor of 96.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 8 feet.
Answer:
8.778 or 8.8
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of 43.89 is 8.778
math: 43.89*(20/100) = 8.778

Answer:
L= 5+2s
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = the larger # and S = the smaller #.
A large # is 5 more than twice a smaller #.....This gives Eq 1) L = 5 + 2S
Their sum is 80...This gives Eq 2) L + S = 80.
Substitute Eq 1) into Eq 2), you get
L + S = 80
5 + 2S + S = 80
L = 5 + 2S
