30 pencils multiplied by 1/6 is equal to 30/6. Reduce 30/6 to lowest term by dividing 30 by 6. The quotient of 30 and 6 is 5. Therefore, Jake used 1/6 or 5 pencils of the 30 pencils in a pack.
We find the area of the total square which is 8in • 8in=64in^2 . Now we find the area of the small quadrilateral which is 4in•4in=16 in^2. Now we subtract the area of the small quadrilateral from the big quadrilateral’s area 64in^2 -16in^2 leaving us with the are of 48in^2 of the figure
