Lisa would have 25 books in all

So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5?
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

Write the expression for the Area of the polygon BORT MO 6 A= O A = 6m + mp O A = mp + 1/2(6m) O A = mp + 6p

anyanavicka [17]

We are asked to determine the area of the given figure. To do that we will divide the figure into a square and a triangle. The area of the square is the product of its dimension, therefore, the area is:

$A_{sq}=mp$

The area of the triangle is given by the following formula:

$A_t=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is its height. Replacing the values:

$A_t=\frac{(6)(m)}{2}=\frac{1}{2}6m$

The total area is the sum of both areas:

$A=A_{sq}+A_t$

replacing the areas:

$A=mp+\frac{1}{2}6m$
