Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangle are two unknowns: The length "l" and the width "w"
The perimeter of a rectangle is found as P = 2*l + 2*w
We also know that the length is 5cm more than twice the width. l = 2*w + 5
These two equations gives us a system of linear equations.
P = 2*l + 2*w
l = 2*w + 5
We can use substitution to replace the "l" in the first equation with 2*w + 5
P = 2*(2*w + 5) + 2*w
P = 4*w + 10 + 2*w
P = 6*w + 10
we know the perimeter is 70
70 = 6* w + 10
subtract 10 from both sides
60 = 6* w
w = 10
Now that we know the width, we can find the length by substituting 10 for "w" in the second equation.
l = 2* 10 + 5
l = 20 +5
l = 25
the dimentions of the rectangle are 25cm x 10 cm
S1=$70/20gal=$3.50 per gallon
s2=$33.50/(50/4)gal=$2.68 per gallon
s3=$48.75/(15+8)gal=$2.12 per gallon
So supplier #3 has the best deal.
Answer:

500
Step-by-step explanation:
I know one of them is 1/2
Answer:
60 minutes is 20% of 300 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of total minutes
60 = 20% of x
20% = 1/5
60 = 1/5x
multiply both sides by 5
300 = x
x = 300 minutes
