Kruka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is P = 2L + 2W. If the perimeter is given as 68 feet, then our P will be filled in with 68. If the length is "5 inches shorter than twice the width" is an expression that looks like this, keeping in mind that "shorter" means subtraction, "twice" means doubled, and the word "is" means equals:

L = "length is"

2W is "twice the width"

5 inches shorter is " - 5". Putting it all together:

L = 2W - 5. Now we can fill in the perimeter formula:

68 = 2W + 2(2W - 5) and

68 = 2W + 4W - 10 and

68 = 6W - 10 and

78 = 6W so

W = 13. The width is 13 inches and the length is

L = 2(13) - 5 so the length is

L = 21 inches.

Place these numbers in order from greatest to least. 19/5, 1.62, –14/3, –0.5​

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello my name is Galaxy and I'll be helping you today. I hope you are having a nice day!

Simplification

To figure out how we can order them, we can first simplify the problems so that we can easily determine its place. We can put the fractions into decimal form so that they are are in one form and will be easy for us to comprehend.

\frac{19}{5}=3\frac{4}{5}=3.80

We know that \frac{1}{5} is equal to 0.20 because we know that 1.00 will be equal to 100 in this case and we can divide that by five to get 20 which will be divided back to get to 0.20.

As I've explained how I've simplified the first one, simplifying the others should be a quite similar process, feel free to comment below if you need any assistance with this.

\frac{19}{5}=3.80\\1.62=1.62\\\frac{-14}{3}=-4.6667\\  -0.5=-0.5

(Everything simplified to decimal form.)

We can now proceed to ordering them.

Ordering

Ordering decimals doesn't have to be as hard as it looks, we know that as per the number line a number that is more negative (e.g. -37) will be less than (e.g. -5) as it is closer to the number 0.

Now that we know how to order the negative numbers, we can order them into order, and for ordering the positive numbers, we should already know how to do that.

So, now, in order from Greatest to Least. We can order them by what I said above.

3.80>1.62>-0.5>-4.666

We can convert the numbers back into their original form by looking at how we converted them in the Simplification section.

Final Answer

After converting them into a way that we can comprehend, we get our final answer in terms of greatest to least as:

\frac{19}{5}>1.62>-0.5>\frac{-14}{3}

Cheers!

How do i solve for x with an equation that says 19 = x - 3
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: x = 22

Step-by-step explanation: Since x is unknown, we want to isolate it and determine what it equals. We know that x - 3 gives us 19, but we don't want to know what x - 3 is, just x. So we can add three to both sides of the equation, to get our answer and keep it balanced. As a result, we get x = 22

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price increased from 800 to 900. So what is the PERCENTAGE INCREASE??

The increase is 900 - 800 = 100

To find this in terms of original, we need to divide 100 by 800 and multiply by 100 to get the "percentage". Let's do it:

\frac{100}{800}*100=12.5

So the increase is 12.5% and thus the general sales tax is 12.5%

The perimeter of a rectangle is 98 m. The length of the rectangle is 9 m more than four times the width. Find the dimensions of
Olenka [21]
P=98 m 

l +9=4w

p=2l+2w

98=2(4w-9) +2w

98 = 8w-18+2w

116=10w

w=11,6 m

l = 4w-9 = 4*11,6 -9 = 46,4 -9 = 37,4 m

w=11,6 m
l= 37,4 m
