perimeter of the first rectangular board is 9 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

let p = perimeter of first board.

l = length of first board

w = width of first board

length of first board = 2 * width of first board - 3

l = 2w - 3

perimeter of first board = 2l + 2w

since l = 2w-3, then

p = 2*(2w-3) + 2w which equals 4w-6 + 2w which equals 6w-6

length and width of the second board are reciprocals of corresponding length and width of the first board.

length of second board = 1/(2w-3)

width of second board = 1/w

perimeter of second board is 1/5th perimeter of the first board.

perimeter of second board = p/5

perimeter of the second board = (2/(2w-3) + 2/w)

since the perimeter of the first board is 5 times the perimeter of the second board, this means that:

6w-6 = 5*(2/(2w-3) + 2/w)

which is the same as:

6w-6 = (10/(2w-3) + 10/w)

if we multiply both sides of this equation by (2w-3), we get:

(6w-6)*(2w-3) = 10 + 10*(2w-3)/w

if we multiply both sides of this equation by w, we get:

(6w-6)*(2w-3)*w = 10*w + 10*(2w-3)

we can simplify this to become:

(6w-6)*(2w-3)*w = 10w + 20w - 30

which becomes:

(6w-6)*(2w-3)*w = 30w-30

if we divide both sides of this equation by (6w-6), we get:

(2w-3)*w = (30w-30)/(6w-6)

which becomes:

(2w-3)*w = 5

this can be simplified to:

2w^2 - 3w = 5

subtract 5 from both sides of this equation to get:

2w^2 - 3w - 5 = 0

which can be factored into:

(2w-5)*(w+1) = 0

which makes:

w = 5/2

or

w = -1.

w can't be negative so the only possible answer is w = 5/2.

if w = 5/2, then

p = 2w-3 = 5-3 = 2

we have:

p = 2

w = 5/2

p = 2l + 2w gets p = 4 + 5 = 9

the perimeter of the first board is 9 feet.

since the perimeter of the second board is 1/5 the perimeter of the first board, the perimeter of the second board is 9/5.

to see if that's correct, we substitute known values for l and w into the second board.

the length of the second board is 1/l.

this becomes 1/2.

the width of the second board is 1/w

this bgecomes 1/(5/2) = (2/5)

let l2 = length of second board.

let w2 = width of second board.

l2 = (1/2)

w2 = (2/5)

let p2= perimeter of second board.

then p2 = 9/5

since p2 = 2*l2 + 2*w2, we should get p2 = 9/5 using the dimensions of l2 and w2.

2 * l2 = 2 * (1/2) = 1

2 * w2 = 2 * (2/5) = 4/5

1 is the same as 5/5

5/5 + 4/5 = 9/5

p2 checks out good.

the dimensions as given are good.

answer to the problem is:

perimeter of the first rectangular board is 9 feet.

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

my guess would be b and d, but i didn’t actually get out the pen and paper. lol
