Answer:
609
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio of teachers to students at Priory School =2:27
Let X= total number of both the students and the teacher
Ratio of teacher=( 2/29)X
Ratio of student is (27/29 )X
But total number of teacher = 42
2/29 ×X =42
2X= 42×29
2X=1218
X= 609
Hence, school's total population is 609
Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w
Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units
find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units
Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.
