209 robberies

Step-by-step explanation:

Robberies last year =348

Robberies has reduced by 40% which means there are (100-40)% = 60% robberies this year.

Number of robberies this year= 60% of 348 = 60/100 × 348 = 208.8

To the nearest whole number = 209

There are 209 robberies this year.

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
