okay so the first step in finding the answer is to see what the formula is to determine the area of a rectangle.

do you know the formula?

okay so the formula is A = L * W

where the L stands for length

and the W stands for Width

so based on the picture can you determine what the length and width are?

where are you having issues with that?

yes that is correct!

don't second guess yourself

so the length is 2 2/3 and the width is 3/4

now the easiest way to solve this problem is to convert the fractions into decimals

are you allowed to use a calculator?

okay so then lets try to convert these fractions into whole numbers

do you know how to convert fractions into whole numbers?

okay so worries

so do that we would have to Divide the numerator by the denominator, only if the numerator is a multiple of the denominator.

so for the width, is 4 a multiple of 3?

no it is not

so out only method would be to convert it into a decimal

do you know what 3/4 is in decimal form?

it is .75 because if you have 4 quarters which equal .25 then 3 quarters equal 75

now we move onto the length 2 2/3

now we already have 2 as a whole number and we can convert 2/3 into a decimal

so we basically do 3 /2

3 does not go into 2 so we put a decimal so it is 0.

then we see how many times 3 goes into 20

how many times does 3 go into 20?

no it is 6 times, because 3*6 = 18

so now we have 0.6

and we bring down the reminder

so we have 3/20

and we have a repeating decimal so our answer is

2/3 = 0.66666

so if we add the whole number we have 2.6666

so now we can plug that into the equation

A = L * W

A = 0.75 * 2.6666

Are you with me so far?

do you have any questions?

great now we just multiple 2.66 * 0.75

can you do that and tell me what you get?

AWESOME!

Now we can round that to the closest number

what is that?

do you know what 1.995 to the closest whole is?

GREAT!

so your answer is

0.75 * 2.66 = 2

ANY QUESTIONS?

Do you know the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?

P = 2( L + W)

so from the information that we already have, can you plug in the numbers for me?

close, try again

and this time for it in fromula form

use the formula that I have provided for you

so can you tell me the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?

great

so P is the value we are looking for and the rest is the formula

can you now try to plug in the numbers into the formula

starting with P =

GREAT!

now don't forget the parentheses

so try one last time

Awesome!

So now according to the laws of PEMDAS what would be our first step into solving this equation?

where did you get 3.41 from?

yes

so 2.66 + 0.75 = 3.41

now we have P = 2 (3.41)

so we now multiple 3.41 * 2

what do you get when you do that?

great job!

so now we know P = 6.82

and those are your two answers

A = 2

P = 6.82

do you have any questions?

They are making a profit of $37.25 per sweater
Explanation:
1-subtract 370 by 72 to get rid of the cost of the sweater which is equal to 298
2- then divide 298 by 8 to get the price of each sweater

An English professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 14% of scores B: Scores below the

NeX [460]

Answer:

Grades between 62 and 64 result in a D grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 71.9, \sigma = 7.8$

Find the numerical limits for a D grade.

D: Scores below the top 84% and above the bottom 10%

So below the 100-84 = 16th percentile and above the 10th percentile.

16th percentile:

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.16. So X when Z = -0.995.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.995 = \frac{X - 71.9}{7.8}$

$X - 71.9 = -0.995*7.8$

$X = 64$

10th percentile:

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.28 = \frac{X - 71.9}{7.8}$

$X - 71.9 = -1.28*7.8$

$X = 62$

Grades between 62 and 64 result in a D grade.

Find the product of (-8) and (-13)

KiRa [710]

To find this you can always use a calculator, if your teacher allows you to. Just remember to punch in the negative signs correctly and don't mistake them for subtraction signs. Also if you don't know what product means, that means the answer of a multiplication problem so for example 9 is the product of 3x3 or 5 is the product of 5x1. The answer to your question is 104. Maybe next time you can solve it on your own! :)
