Answer:

The width is 1.67 or 1 2/3 feet approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the dog pen = 14 1/5 = 14.2 square feet

Length of the pen = 8 1/2 = 8.5 feet

Width of the pen = x

Let's recall that the formula of the area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length * Width

Replacing with the values we know:

14 1/5 = 8 1/2 * Width

14.2 = 8.5 * Width

Width = 14.2/8.5

Width = 1.67 feet (rounding to the next hundredth)

1.67 ≅ 1 2/3

The width is 1.67 or 1 2/3 feet approximately

dlinn [17]

Hello!

14.8 = n - 0.3

n - 0.3 = 14.8

n = 14.8 + 0.3

n = 15.1 → value of n

Good luck! :)

A bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups each time. A bag of seeds holds 32 cups. How many bags of seed did he use?

pishuonlain [190]

First, let's find how many cups the bird feeder uses 24 times.

24 x 6 = (20 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 120 + 24 = 148 cups.

Now, let's divide 148 by 32.

148 ÷ 32 = 4.625 bags of seed.

I hope this helped!

Answer:

Use the formula for area of the triangle:

A = 1/2bh, where b- base, h- height or altitude

The triangle i has:

b = 4 cm, h = 1.5 cm

The area is:

A = 1/2*4*1.5 = 3 cm²

Triangles have same area as they are congruent.

Total area is:

3*2 = 6 cm²
