If you want the strip around the mat:
x=strip of mat
2(20+2x)+2(15+2x)=102
Distribute
40+4x+30+4x=102
Combine like terms
70+8x=102
Subtract 70
8x=32
Divide by 8
x=4
If you want the whole width of the mat:
w=15+x
w=15+2*4
w=23
Answer:
a. 1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=4 or x=—12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
total = 750
ratio = 7 : 8
We need to get the ratio of the number to its total
7 + 8 = 15 ; 7/15 and 8/15 is the ratio of the number to its total.
We multiply these ratio to the total of 750
7/15 * 750 = 350
8/15 * 750 = 400
7:8 is equal to 350:400
Answer: A. When it comes after the decimal point, as in 4.000
Step-by-step explanation: If there are no other numbers after the zeros, there is no reason for them to be place holders. Zeros in decimals act as place holders such as in 4.09 or 4.0009. This actually does change the value of the decimal but 4.000 is just the same as a regular old 4. Hope this helps!
