Mrs. teal's classes brought in 6 cans of fruit 4 cans of beans 7 boxes of noodles and 4 cans of soup. find the ratio of cans of fruit to the total number of food items collected. then explain its meaning

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
