the length of your garden must exceed the width of the garden by 3 feet. you only have 58 feet of fencing to go around the perimeter. if you use all the fencing, what will be the dimensions of your garden?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: First let us represent
x-width
x+3-length

Since it has a width and length, we can say it is a rectangle so the formula for the perimeter of it is 2(l+w)

p=2(l+w)
58=2(x+3+x)
58=(2x+3)2
58=4x+6
52=4x
x=13

the width is 13 and the length is 16

Dany bought a total of 20 game cards some of which cost $0.25 each and some of which cost $0.15 each. If dany spent $4.20to buy these cards,how many cards of each type did he buy?

Answers

For this case we have to:

x: Represents the $ 0.25 game cards

y: Represents the $ 0.15 game cards

We have then:

$0.25x + 0.15y = 4.20\nx + y = 20$

From the second equation we have:

$x = 20-y$

Substituting in the first equation:

$0.25 (20-y) + 0.15y = 4.20\n5-0.25y + 0.15y = 4.20\n5-0.1y = 4.20\n-0.1y = 4.20-5\n-0.1y = -0.8\ny = \frac {0.8} {0.1}\ny = 8$

So, I buy 8 game cards for $ 0.15

On the other hand we have:

$x = 20-8\nx = 12$

So, I buy 12 game cards for $0.25

Answer:

Buy 8 game cards for $0.15

Buy 12 game cards for $0.25

Write the percent as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form. Show all work

whenever you see percent with numbers than remember that you have to divide it by 100 so let's go

45%=45/100=9/20
cuz 45/100=0.45 so what fraction give you number like if you divide 9/20=0.45
34%=34/100
=0.34
in fraction it is 17/50
8%=8/10=0.08 <<< 2/25
90%=90/100=0.9 <<<9/10
79%= 79/100=0.79<< 79/100
224%=224/100=2.24<< 2 6/25
