The length of a rectangle is 5 times as long as the width. If the perimeter is 60 meters, find the length and the width.​

hi <3

lets call our width 'x' and our length '5x'

so lets create an equation with what we know:

5x + 5x + x + x = 60

simplify:

12x = 60

divide both sides by 12:

x = 5

5(5) = 25

therefore, the width is 5m and the length is 25m

hope this helps :)

length=25 width=5

Step-by-step explanation:

let L= length

let W= width

length is 5 times as long as the width means; L=5*W=5W

perimeter of rectangle; 60= L+L+W+W=2L+2W

substituting  L we have; 60=2*5W+2W=10W+2W=12W

therefor 60=12W

60/12=12W/12

W=5

remember; L=5W=5*5=25

answer: 59

step-by-step explanation:

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
