If you write a number over another number, it's called a FRACTION
Part A:
Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches
As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches
Perimeter is given as = 54 inches
Perimeter = 
Equation becomes:
=54
Part B:
Solving the equation we get
Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches
Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches
Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.
Answer:
10 2/15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall
It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour. We need to divide to see how long the candle will last
11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8
I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5
1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8
57/5 ÷ 9/8
Copy dot flip
57/5 * 8/9
456/45
Now we change it back to a mixed number
45 goes into 456 10 times with 6 left over
10 6/45
This simplifies to 10 2/15
Answer: B. Cannot be determined
Explanation:
We can't use SAS since we don't have two pairs of proportional sides. We only know one pair of sides. This also rules out SSS as well since we'd need 3 pairs of proportional sides.
We can't use AA because we don't have two pairs of congruent angles.
Currently, we simply don't have enough information to determine if the triangles are similar or not.
Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
and
if a^m=a^n, where a=a then n=m
(x^4)(x^n)=x^5
(x^4)(x^n)=x^(4+n)
x^(4+n)=x^5
therefor
4+n=5
minus 4
n=1
