You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

We have shown methods using multiplication, division, subtraction, addition. Take your pick.
To find the missing dimension you will use the formula for finding the volume of a prism and solve for the missing dimension. In this case 2ft is how deep the pool is and you will solve for the width of the pool.
V = Bh, where B is the area of the base. In this case, use the area of a trapezoid formula.
286 = 1/2h(8 +13)2
<u>286</u> = <u>21h</u>
21 21
h = 13.6
The width of the wading pool is approximately 13.6 feet.
Answer:
a = 157.7536pi
Step-by-step explanation:
area = pi*circumference²
a = pi*12.56² = 157.7536*pi
however, if pi just equals 3.14:
probably around 495.346304
Radius ^2 * pi = 1 pizza * 2 = area of 2 pizzas = 307.876 in ^2
