  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions will be those of a rectangular mirror if the diagonal measure is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the given side lengths.

The Pythagorean theorem would require for some width w ...

  w^2 +24^2 = 30^2

  w^2 = 900 -576 = 324

  w = √324 = 18

A rectangular mirror with a length of 24 inches and a diagonal of 30 inches will have a width of 18 inches, not 16.

__

The attachment shows that a width of 16 inches is not consistent with a right-angle corner.

Additional comment

If you reduce the given numbers to lowest terms by dividing them by 2, they become 8, 12, 15. That is, the two shortest sides are even and the longest is odd. Any set of integer dimensions for a right triangle must have an even number of odd numbers (0 or 2). These numbers cannot be a Pythagorean triple, so cannot make a right triangle.

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
