Since area is length times width, you can divide 8 1/2 by 3 2/5 to get the length. 8.5/3.2=2.65625 feet

Answer:

2 1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is given by the formula

A = l*w

We know the area is 8 1/2  

Changing this to an improper fraction  8 1/2 = (2*8 +1)/2 = 17/2

The width is 3 2/5  as an improper fraction  = (5*3+2)/5 = 17/5

A = l*w

17/2 = l* 17/5

Multiply each side by 5/17

17/2 * 5/17 = l* 17/5 * 5/17

5/2 = l

2 1/2 = l

Answer: x = -1; y = -1

y = 3x + 2

y = -2x - 3

⇔ y = 3x + 2

   3x + 2 = -2x - 3

⇔ y = 3x + 2

    5x = -5

⇔ y = 3x + 2

    x = -1

⇔ y = -1

    x = -1

on a trip, you had to change your money from dollars to British pounds. you got 560 pounds for 800 dollars. which is a unit rate
Bond [772]
1pound is 800/560......which is 80/56-->10/7
so 1 pound is 10/7 dollars....
because you don't say for one dollar it is this many pounds. 
also for unit rate i divide by 560 on both sides to get one pound on one side and then how many dollars on the other
