One third of the tomatoes in a garden are pealed . if 6 tomatoes are pealed , which equation can be used to find the total number of tomatoes in the garden

3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total number of tomatoes is a third of a total, and you have the third of the total, all you have to do is multiply it by 3, so you get the equation 3x.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
