Answer:

ok so if we take length to be x we know width is x-3

the perimeter is the total length of sides, if you look at a rectangle you can see it has 4 sides with 2 length and 2 width. so perimeter is 2 times (x + x-3) = 26.

2x -3 = 13, 2x = 16, x = 8, 8 is length

the width is then 8-3 = 5.

Length = 8, width = 5.

What is the reciprocal of 6/5? <br> A. 1 <br> B. 1 1/5 <br> C. 12/10 <br> D. 5/6
Sergio039 [100]
The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10
