A rectangular field is eleven times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 2400 feet, what are the dimensions of the field?
***
let x=width of the field
11x=length of the field
twice the width+twice the length=perimeter
2x+22x=2400
24x=2400
x=100
11x=1100
width of the field=100 ft
length of the field=1100 ft
