A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 500 feet. Determine the flag’s length and width if the length is 70 feet greater than the width.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Width = 90 feet and length = 160 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

Let w + 70 = length

The perimeter would be 2(w) + 2(w + 70) = 2w+ 2w + 140 which must equal 500 feet.

Add the like terms:

4w+140=500; subtract 140 from both sides; 4w = 360; divide both sides by 4 and you get w= 90. If w = 90, then length = 90 + 70 = 160 feet
Answer 2
Answer:

Let the width be x

length = 70+x

Perimeter =2(l+b)

500=2(70+x+x)

70+2x=250

2x=180

x=90

Width = 90 feet

Length = 70+90=160

Kelly is having a party. She wants to make punch. The recipe forunch uses 3 pints of pineapple juice,5 cups of orange juice, gallon ofade, and 1 quart of apricot nectar.Part AKelly says her recipe will make 20 cups of punch. Is Kelly correct?Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Kelly is wrong and the recipe will make 19 cups of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of ingredients in the recipe of punch after converting the units to 'cups' are given by,

Pineapple juice = 3 pints = 6 cups .......................(As 1 pint ≈ 2 cups)

Orange juice = 5 cups

Lemonade = (1)/(4) gallon = 4 cups ...........................(As 1 gallon = 16 cups)

Apricot nectar = 1 quart = 4 cups .........................(As 1 quart = 4 cups)

Then, the total cups of punch = 6 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 cups.

Thus, Kelly is wrong and the recipe will make 19 cups of punch.
No she is not because a galloon equals 16 cups, a quart equals 4 cups, and a pint equals 2 cups. So altogether including the other 5 cups, it would be 27 cups.
