Question 804387
Martha is sewing her rectangular quilt and the width is nine times longer than the length. The perimeter is 20 inches. What are the dimensions of her quilt?
----------------
9 times longer = 10 times as long
-----
P = 2L + 2W = 20
L + W = 10
L = 10W
-----
10W + W = 10
W = 10/11 inches
L = 100/11 inches
-------------
That's a tiny quilt.
