If it took t hours to travel to college then it took 7-t to return home.
The distance travelled is the same so 15t=6(7-t), 15t=42-6t, 21t=42, t=2 hours.
So travel to college took 2 hours and it took 5 hours to return home.
X - unit of length
w,l - the sides of a rectangle
7 : 2 ⇒ 7x : 2x
Perimeter: P = 207cm
Perimeter: P = 2w + 2l
therefore: 2w + 2l = 207 |divide both sides by 2
w + l = 103.5 (cm)
w : l = 7 : 2 ⇒ w : l = 7x : 2x ⇒ w = 7x; l = 2x
subtitute
7x + 2x = 103.5
9x = 103.5 |divide both sides by 9
x = 11.5 (cm)
7x = 7 · 11.5cm = 80.5cm
2x = 2 · 11.5cm = 23cm
w = 80.5cm; l = 23cm
Area = wl
Area: A = 80.5cm · 23cm = 1851.5cm²
Answer:
Yes, Jason's work is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you use the commutative property, you can swap the numbers position and still get the same answer.
Hope this helps!!
