The length of a rectangle is 8 mm longer than its width. Its perimeter is more than 32 mm. Let w equal the width of the rectangle. a. Write an expression for the length in terms of the width.

b. Use expressions for the length and width to write an inequality for the
perimeter, on the basis of the given information.

c. Solve the inequality, clearly indicating the width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

w = width

L = length

L = w+8 since the length is 8 mm longer than the width

Answer: w+8

====================================================

Part B

P = perimeter of rectangle

P = 2*(L+W) = 2L + 2W

We want the perimeter to be more than 32 mm, so we want P to be greater than 32

This means we write P > 32

Replace P with either 2(L+W) or 2L+2W. I'll pick 2L+2W

So we go from

P > 32

2L+2W > 32

After this, replace L with W+8 (refer to part A above)

We now have

2(W+8) + 2W > 32

Answer: 2(w+8) + 2w > 32

====================================================

Part C

Let's solve the inequality found in part B to get...

2(w+8) + 2w > 32

2w + 16 + 2w > 32

4w + 16 > 32

4w + 16-16 > 32-16 ....... subtracting 16 from both sides

4w > 16

4w/4 > 16/4 ......... dividing both sides by 4

w > 4

Answer: w > 4; The width of the rectangle must be larger than 4 mm

Which strategies can be used to solve this problem? The population of Grayville is 2,345 people. Rosetown has 1,123 fewer people than Grayville. Newtown has 1,020 more people than Rosetown. How many people live in Newtown? Choose all answers that are correct. A. Translate into an equation. 2,345 – 1,123 + 1,020 = p B. Work backward. Add 1,020 to the population of Rosetown (1,123). Subtract this from the population of Grayville (2,345). C. Use logical reasoning. Start with the population you already know (Grayville = 2,345). Subtract Rosetown's 1,123 fewer people than Grayville. Add 1,020 to this amount because Newtown has 1,020 more people than Rosetown. D. Draw a diagram. Draw 3 large circles. Write 2,345 in the first circle and write 1,123 in the second circle. Add the 2 amounts and subtract 1,020 from the sum. Write this amount in the third circle.

one common factor of 2 numbers is 40 another common factor is 10 if both numbers are less than 100 what are the two numbers

Answers

so, if one common factor is 40, then they also have all the factors of 40 in common: 2,4,5,8,10... so we don't need to know that the other common factor is 10.

but there are only two multiples of 40 smaller than 100: 40 and 80. and if those numbers are not the same number, then they must be 40 and 80!

What is the greatest common factor of 9 21 60?

Answers

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 9, 21 and 60 is: 3

Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The common factors between the three numbers are 1 and 3, but since 3 is the highest number, it is considered the GCF.

A restaurant offers 12 types of entrees, 6 types of appetizers, and 4 types of rice.How many meals of appetizer, entree, and rice are there?

The appetizer can be any one of 6 choices. For each of those ...
The rice can be any one of 4 choices.

Total number of possible combinations is (12 x 6 x 4) = 288 .

there is 27 meals cause if you have 12 entrees and 6 appetizers you still have 12 so 2*6=12 so 2*12=24 and how many times can 4 go into 12 and that is 3 so 24+3=27

the answer is 27
