Question

Help with word problem?

Answer 1

The Children at Tiny Tots Day Care plant a rectangular vegetable garden with a perimeter of 210m. The length is 3/4 the width, Find the dimensions of the garden.


I have no idea how to set up the equation. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 2

Would it be like

210=2(3/4+2x)?

Answer 3

I guess so..

Answer 4

Do you mean to find the length and width of the rectangle garden thingy?

Answer 5

Yeah

Answer 6

I think since the question says that the length is 3/4 the width that the equation would be something like:
width-0.25=length
I am trying to figure this out, it's weird

Answer 7

Would 210=4(x-.25) make any sense?
210-perimeter
4-for sides? or just 2?

Answer 8

So it would be the width÷0.75=length

Answer 9

width*0.75= length*
IM SORRY LOL

Answer 10

Do you think it'd be 2 sides? Since 2 are for length and the other 2 for width?

Answer 11

Here is the final problem:
((width*0.75)+width)*2
so basically its this:
(length+width)*2

Answer 12

So for example the width could be 75 EXAMPLE:
((75*0.75)+75)*2=262.5
So your answer for width will be close to 75.

Answer 13

Just go down a little bit

Answer 14

Ok, when I find the width do I multiply that by 3/4 to get my length, right?

Answer 15

Width: 60
Length: 45
60+60+45+45

Answer 16

That's your answer.

Answer 17

Thank you!

Answer 18
