The length of a rectangle is 5 times the width. if the perimeter is to be greater than 36 meters. what are the possible values for the width?

  The width must be greater than 3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then 5w will represent the length, which is 5 times the width. The perimeter is the total of the side lengths of the rectangle, so is ...

  P = 2w + 2(5w) = 12w

We want this to be greater than 36 m, so ...

  P > 36 m

  12w > 36 m . . . . . . . substitute our expression for P

  w > 3 m . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

The possible values for width are those values that are more than 3 meters.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
