Ascientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 40% salt. she wants to obtain 200 ounces of a mixture that is 5% salt. how many ounces of water and how many ounces of the 40% salt solution should she use?

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
