1 5/6 divided by 2 1/8
1) you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions
2) 1 5/6 is 11/6 and 2 1/8 is 17/8
3) then you must change the operation from division to multiplication
4) then you have to find the recipricol of 17/8 (flip it) and it will be 8/17
5) Finally, you multiply and you will get 88/102: 11/6x8/17=88/102 amd yoy can simplify if asked
This is true based on the theorem corresponding parts of congruent figures are congruent.
The answer is the last option: The associative property of multiplication
<h3>Answer:</h3>
C. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
There are a number of ways you can get there.
1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.
- A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²
- B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio
- C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — <em>matches problem statement</em>
- D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²
2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.
3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.
Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives
... (3/2)h·h = 54
... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3
... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches . . . . matches selection C
230 divided by 12 1/2 is 18.4. 18.4 times the width is 230. so the length is 18.4.
