Eleanor and Max used two Rectangular wooden boards to make a set for the school play one board was 6 feet long,And other was 5 1
/2 feet long the two boards had equal widths. The total area of the set was 60 3/8 square feet. what is the width
1 answer:
The total area is the product of length and width
... total area = (length1 × width) + (length2 × width)
... = (length1 + length2) × width
... 60 3/8 = (6 + 5 1/2) × width
... (60 3/8)/(11 1/2) = width = 5 1/4 . . . . feet
The width of the boards use for the set was 5 1/4 feet.
_____
A suitable calculator can give you this answer directly. Others may ask you to convert to or from decimal feet.
___
The method conventionally taught to do division with mixed numbers is to convert them to improper fractions:
... 60 3/8 = (60·8 +3)/8 = 483/8
... 11 1/2 = (11·2 + 1)/2 = 23/2
Then, invert the denominator and multiply:
... (483/8)/(23/2) = (483/8) × (2/23) = 483/(4·23)
... = 483/92 = 5 23/92 = 5 1/4 . . . . . . . . remembering that 92 = 4·23
_____
It isn't clear whether this is a problem about areas, or a problem about mixed-number arithmetic. It is a good idea to get comfortable with arithmetic using numbers in any form: integers, decimals, mixed numbers, fractions, percents.

See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If a function is bijective and 1-to-1, then it will have an inverse function. Consequentially, they will be symmetrical about the line , which is a diagonal line passing through the origin at a 45 degree angle.
None of the graphs look correct though, but it also seems that some options are cut out, so make sure to choose the correct graph given the characteristics I've previously described.
