Separate 72 into 2 parts, one of which shall be 1/3 of the other

The second part of 72 is

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole part is given  as  = 72

One part of it = 1/3

Let  the other part of it  = k

Now,according to the question:

First Part + Second Part = 72

or,

⇒

or,

or, k = 215/3

Hence, the second part of 72 is

$32,660

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
