Question

Neighborhood block: Perimeter Perimeter = 3 20 + w + 3 20 + w Bijan wants to go running during his family’s vacation to New York City. To do so, he will run a neighborhood block 20 times. Bijan runs a total of 8 miles. Use the formula for the perimeter of the neighborhood block and the reciprocal to find the width w of the city block.

Answer 1

Here, Perimeter = 2(3/20 + w) = 3/10 + 2w
20 times, = 20(3/10 + 2w)
= 6 + 40w = 8
= 40w = 8 - 6
= w = 2 / 40
= w = 1/20

In short, Your Answer would be 1/20 or 0.05 miles

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

20(3/10 + 2w)
6 + 40w = 8
40w = 8 - 6
= w = 2 / 40
simplified 2/40 1ould be 1/20

The answer is 1/20
