The factors are just numbers that can be multiplied to receive the number that is given.
The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
1 × 24 = 24
2 × 12 = 24
3 × 8 = 24
4 × 6 = 24
Answer:
6 and 21 meters long
Step-by-step explanation:
You make an equation from what you got (there are 2 widths and 2 lengths)
2(4w-3)+2w=54---->10w-6=54---> 10w=60 ----> w=6 ---> plug in the rest and you get 21 as the length.
or... make W+L=28 and guess and check!!! takes longer but works!
The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>
<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>
<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>
<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>
You could also use 48 because 8 and 12 divide into it.
