Answer:
2/5 is the simplest form. But in decimal form it is 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5
=2 divided by 5
=0.4
Since 1/2=0.5 and 1/8=0.125, we have 2.5, 2.4, 2.35, and 2.125. The first number we look for is the one to the left, and they're all the same, so that doesn't necessarily help. Next, we have a 5, 4, 3, and 1. They're already in order from greatest to least, so that's awesome!
Answer:
Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.
Explanation:
Let the size of old square room be a x a.
New dimension = ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 )
We have area of the new room will be 144 square feet greater than the area of the original room.
So, ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 ) = a x a + 144
a²+10a+24= a²+144
10a = 120
a = 12 feet.
Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.
So if x is equal to 1/3, then our equation would be 5/(1/3). When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal to find the answer, meaning that if you divide by 1/3, you can multiply by 3/1. So your answer would be 15.
5/(1/3)=x
5*3=x
15=x
Add all the number the points are on and you get your answer
