Answer:

Let the Width(W) = X cm

then the length(L)= (2+X)cm

Perimeter(P)= 60cm

P =L+W

L+W =P

(2+X)cm +X cm = 60 cm

2X+2=60

2X=60-2

2X=58

dividing both sides by 2

X=29cm

Width =X

Width =29cm

the width is 29cm

Length= (2+X)cm

= (2+29)cm

= 31cm

the length is 31cm

Liu wants to decorate some cakes with shapes.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

15 cakes can be decorated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of shapes Liu has = 140

Ratio of shape of stars and hearts = 4 : 3

According to the question:

Each cake have 5 stars and 4 hearts.

Let the number of starts be "4x" and number of hearts be "3x" from the ratio.

Now,

⇒ 4x+3x=140

⇒ 7x=140

⇒ x=\frac{140}{7}

⇒ x=20

Number of stars = 4x =4(20) =80

Number of hearts = 3x=3(20)=60

Each cake have 5 stars and 4  hearts .

How many cakes can be decorated with 80 stars.

⇒ No.of cakes = Total number of stars / 5

⇒ C=\frac{80}{5}

⇒ C=16

How many cakes can be decorated with 60 hearts.

⇒ C=\frac{60}{4}

⇒ C=15

But both shapes are in combination so only 15 cakes can be decorated with the combination of 5 stars and 4 hearts.

Liu can decorate 15 cakes and only.
