Question

The length of a rectangle is five times its width. If the perimeter is at most 96 centimeters, what is the greatest possible value for the width?

Question 4 options:



2w + 2 • (5w) ≤ 96




2w + 2 • (5w) ≥ 96




2w + 2 • (5w) < 96




2w + 2 • (5w) > 96

Answer 1

• A) 2w + 2 • (5w) ≤ 96

----------------------------------

Given:

• Width is w,
• Length is l = 5w.

Perimeter is:

• P = 2(l + w)

or

• 2w + 2(5w)

The perimeter is at most 96 cm (not greater than):

• 2w + 2(5w) ≤ 96

The matching choice is A.
