Answer:
4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
8×21=168
168÷36(1 yard in inches)=4 with a remainder of 24
24/36 can both be divided by 12 so its now been reduced to 2/3
Answer:
maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
Dora is apparently assuming the dimensions are integers. In that case she is correct.
If the dimensions are unconstrained, the perimeter will be largest when a pair of opposite sides will be the smallest measure allowed.
For some perimeter P and side length x, the area is ...
A = x(P/2 -x)
Conversely, the perimeter for a given area is ...
P = 2(A/x +x)
This gets very large when x gets very small, so Dora is correct in saying that the side lengths that are as small as they can be will result in the largest perimeter. We have no way of telling if her assumption of integer side lengths is appropriate. If it is not, her statement makes no sense.
An equation to represent this would be 12x+2=T.
x=10 people per large table.
If T=122 then we just have to isolate x on one side of the equation. The first step is to replace T with 120 and then subtract 2 on both sides (to cancel the +2) to get 12x=120. Cancel the 12 by dividing both sides by 12 to get x=10. The number of people seated at each large table would be 10. Hopefully I explained this correctly and helped you understand.
To do this simply see how many times 10 can go into 124.
It can go in 12 times right?
12 is your whole number.
The four is still left and it is going to stay there. So right now you have:
12 and 4/10
4/10 can be simplified by dividing it by 2.
This leaves you with 2/5
Your answer is 12 and 2/5
