Greetings!
"<span>A rectangular parking lot at the mega-mall is 7/10 mile long and 1/4 mile wide. How much fencing is needed to enclose the lot?"...
This question is essentially asking to solve for the perimeter. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
</span>

Input the information we already know:

Find A common denominator.

Simplify.



Reduce to Lowest Terms.

or
1 9/10 miles of fencing will be required to enclose the entire lot.
Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:
given

as equation 1, and

as equation 2.
Now, multiply equation 2 by 2.

now let's this equation be equation 3.
We now use equation 1 + equation 3 to eliminate y and find x.

Now substitute x = 7 into equation 2.

Answer:
a. $3600
b. 6:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the question into an equation:
8x - 1/4 x 8x = 5x + 450
(simplify before solving) 6x = 5x + 450
(solve) 6x-5x = 450
x = 450
This means that Jimmy had 8 x 450 $ to start with = 3600
you can check this by subtracting a quarter of 3600 from 3600 and also multiplying 450 by 5 and then obtaining their difference. You get 450!
Now ratio of new amounts:
Jimmy now has: $2700
John still has: $2250
so ratio is 2700:2250
simplify to 6:5
Hope this helps

Answer: 22 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 times 4 = 1 gallon
if Rob can travel 5 and 1/2 miles on 1/4, then to find how far he can travel on 1 gallon we multiply 51/2 by 4
5 1/2 x 4 = 22
