A rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches it’s length is 2 inches less than 3 times the width what is the area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

225 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l and width be w

Condition 1

2l+2w=68 (Perimeter=68)--------(i)

Condition 2

l=3w-2 ---------(ii)

Putting equation (ii) in (i)

2(3w-2)+2w=68

6w-4+2w=68

8w-4=68

8w=68+4

8w=72

dividing both sides by 8

w=9 inches

now putting w=9 in (ii)

l=3(9)-2

l=27-2

l=25 inches

Now

Area of rectangle =  l × w

=9 × 25

=225 inches²

Simplify the expression (-5-4)divided(-3+5)

Answers

Answer:

the answer is -4.5

16-pound bag of Kitty Kibbles is $24.00. An 8-pound bag of Feline Flavor is $11.20. Which statement about the unit prices is true?

Answers

To find the unit price you divide the total cost of the bag by the amount of pounds in the bag.

Thus, the unit price of Kitty Kibbles is 24/16, or 1.5.  This means that each pound of Kitty Kibbles costs $1.50.

Also, the unit price of Feline Flavor is 11.20/8, or 1.4.  This means that each pound of Feline Flavor costs $1.40

Feline Flavor is cheaper per pound than Kitty Kibbles (or Kitty Kibbles is more expensive than Feline Flavor per pound).

Answer:

Kitty Kibbles has a higher unit price of  $1.50/ pound

Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, both, neither. 16,8,4,2,... is what

Answers

Answer: It is a geometric series.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

16,8,4,2,...

Here,

a = first term = 16

r = common ratio is given by

(a_2)/(a_1)=(8)/(16)=(1)/(2)=(4)/(8)

So, it becomes geometric progression, as it has common ratio rather than common difference.

Hence, it is a geometric series.

an arythmetic sequence involves addition and subtraction exg
2,4,6,8,10 ( +2)
10,8,6,4,2 (-2)

a geometric sequence involves multiplication or division exg
2,4,8,16 ( times 2)
16,8,4,2 (divide 2)


it is a geometric sequence because it involves multiplication
