the length of a rectangular building is 6 feet less than 3 times t he width. The perimeter is 120 feet. Find the width and the l

garri49 [273]

Call the width x. Note that the length is 3x-6. We know that double the width plus double the length is 120, so we write an equation:

$2(x)+2(3x-6)=120$
$2x+6x-12=120$
$8x-12=120$
$8x=132$
$x=16.5$
If x is 16.5, the width is 16.5, and the length is $3 \cdot 16.5 - 6 = 43.5$ .

Answer:

32598720

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination for the school government requires:

5 out of 8 seniors = 8! / 3!5! = 6*7*8/2*3 = 7*8 = 56
4 out of 9 juniors = 9! / 4!5! = 6*7*8*9/2*3*4= 7*2*9 = 126
3 out of 12 sophomores = 12! / 3!9! = 10*11*12/2*3 = 10*11*2 = 220
2 out of 7 fishermen = 7! / 2!5! = 6*7/2 = 21

So number of total ways is:

56*126*220*21 = 32598720

Divide the number 720 into the following Ratios 2:1:3 5:4

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Ratio 1 = a(240

=b)120

=c)360

Ratio 2=a)400

=b)320

Step-by-step explanation:

On both of the ratios you first add them then divide one by one like this for example 2+1+3= 6

then 2/6 ÷720 = 120 ×2 =240 then you do this to the other numbers as well.
