The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 48 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 48.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 48
w + h = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
w + h = 24
w = 24 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 24 - 2w
3w = 24
w = \( \frac{24}{3} \)
w = 8

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 8) = 16 and the area = h x w = 8 x 16 = 128 m²

The factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 56 and 80 have in common.

You have 13 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{13}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{13 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{1300}{450} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.

The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 6 have in common.

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
