The answer should be 0.25
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original denominator be 2x.
The original numerator is x.
The original fraction is x/(2x).
The numerator is increased by 2, and the denominator is decreased by 2.
The new fraction is (x + 2)/(2x - 2).
The new fraction equals 3/4.
(x + 2)/(2x - 2) = 3/4
Cross multiply.
4(x + 2) = 3(2x - 2)
4x + 8 = 6x - 6
-2x = -14
x = 7
The original numerator was 7.
2x = 2(7) = 14
The original denominator was 14.
For this you would want to break this figure up with familar shapes. You can do two triangles and one big rectangle.
First triangle:
(3)(2)(1/2)= 3 feet squared
Second Triangle:
(3)(4)(1/2)= 6 feet squared
Rectangle:
(11)(3)= 33 feet squared
Now you add:
33+3+6= 42 feet squared
So, for this hole you will need 42 feet squared of outdoor carpet
45/117
Both numbers can be divide by 9
5/13
