I have three problems that I have no idea how to start. The first two are word problems and one is just an equation.
I don't need you to give me the answers, I just need a guide to begin, because I'm just stumpped.
I'll list them here.
(1) To mix weed killer correctly, it is necessary to mix 8 teaspoons of weed killer with 2 galons of water. Find out how many gallons are needed to mix with the entire box of weed killer if it contains 36 teaspoons of weed killer.
(2) An architect designs a rectangular flower garden such that the width is exactly 2/3 of the length. If 230 feet of fencing is being used to enclose the garden, find the dimensions of the garden
(3) L=5πrt + 4πr^2 for t
The π symbol is pi and ^2 means squared.
