Answer:
I'm pretty sure its b but I'm not sure I'm sorry if it's wrong
I think maybe about 5 times
We multiply the fraction of 3/4 to the whole number 24 to get the equivalent number of the fraction.
24 * 3/4 = (24 * 3)/4 = 72/4 = 18
3/4 of 24 is 18.
There are 18 blue tiles out of the 24 tiles used.
The more painstaking way would be to divide the spinner up into 100 pieces, and shade in 5 of those pieces. Since 5/100 = 0.05 = 5% this means that landing on any of the 5 pieces has a 5% chance of happening.
A better way to do this is to use 20 slices instead. This works because 5/100 reduces to 1/20 (divide top and bottom by 5). Instead of shading in 5 slices, Mark should shade in 1. If you use a calculator, you should see that 1/20 = 0.05 = 5% as well.
The second option is more practical but even then a spinner with 20 sections is still a lot. I think it might be better for Mark to pull random numbers out of a hat, or let the computer generate random numbers.
Answer:
28 and 7
35
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is base*height/2, no matter the shape.
So the big one is 8*7/2 = 28 in²
And the little one is 2*7/2 = 7 in²
The total trapezoid therefore has an area of 28+7=35 in²
