First let’s call the square shape A and the rectangle shape B.
To find the area of shape A you do 24 x 24 = 576cm squared
To find the area of shape B you do 40 x 24 = 960cm squared
To find the total area you just add the two areas together
576 + 960 = 1536cm squared
He is correct.
The further away ( to the left) from 0 a negative number is the smaller it is.
Well, 1/3 is equal to 0.3, and 1/4 is equal to .25, so it can't be a.
3/4 is equal to .75 and 6/9 is equal to 0.6, so it can't be b.
5/8 is equal to 0.625 and 20/32 is also equal to 0.625, so it could be c.
7/9 is equal to 0.7 and 21/28 is equal to 0.75, so it can't be D.
Your best bet is C. Because both sides of C are equal.
C 5/8=20/32
