Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, The length of Dwight's garden is 12.5 meters but he measured it and made a measurement error of 6%.

The lowest measurement Dwight could have made will be:

= 12.5 - (6% × 12.5)

= 12.5 - (0.06 × 12.5)

= 12.5 - 0.75

= 11.75 meters

The lowest measurement Dwight could have made will be:

= 12.5 + (6% × 12.5)

= 12.5 + (0.06 × 12.5)

= 12.5 + 0.75

= 13.25 meters

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
