The width of a rectangular rug is one-sixth of the length. If the perimeter is 56, what is the rug's width?

width = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = x.

The width is x/6.

perimeter = x + x + x/6 + x/6

perimeter = 56

x + x + x/6 + x/6 = 56

2x + x/3 = 56

6x/3 + x/3 = 56

7x/3 = 56

Divide both sides by 7.

x/3 = 8

x = 24

The length is 24.

width = x/6 = 24/6 = 4

Check: 24 + 24 + 4 + 4 = 48 + 8 = 56

The perimeter does equal 56.

width = 4

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
