Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2x the width and 2x the length gives you the perimeter. This can be represented by the equation:

2w + 2L = P

Use the information given in the word problem to fill in the variables.

2(59) + 2L = 238

118 + 2L = 238

move 118 to the other side of the equation.

2L = 238 - 118

2L = 120

move 2 to the other side of the equation.

L = $\frac{120}{2}$

L = 60

use real numbers?

n is +9

m is -11

m/n * (-m*n^2)

-11/9 * (11*81)

-11/1 * (11*9)

-11 * 99

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Turn -2x+4y=0 into slope-intercept form

yanalaym [24]

Y=1/2x +0. You add the 2x to the other side, and then divide everything by 4 to have only 1y.

In 1987 the average price of gasoline was $0.94. Today the price of gas is about $3.00. What is the percent increase from 1987 t

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

219.15% (2DP)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 0.94 and 3 is 2.06

Percentage change = (change in value/ original amount) X100.

(2.06/0.94) X 100

Which equals 219.15%

The price of gas has increased by 219.15%
