Two workers in a holiday boutique are filling stockings with small gifts and candy. Beth has already filled 5 stockings and will continue to fill them at a rate of 3 stockings per hour. Ron, who just arrived to help, can fill 4 stockings per hour. At some point, Ron will catch up with Beth and they will have completed the same number of stockings. How many stockings will each worker have filled by then?

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
