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 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.

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

2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h

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

w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m²

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $37 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1850}{100} \) = $18.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$37.00 + ($37.00 - $18.50)
$37.00 + $18.50
$55.50

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10^exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.0000735 in scientific notation is 7.35 x 10^-5

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
