L= length= 1 1/2 yards
A= area= 3 1/2 yards^2
w= width
Area= length * width
plug in numbers you know
3 1/2= (1 1/2)(w)
convert to improper fractions
(3*2+1)/2= ((1*2+1)/2)(w)
7/2= 3/2w
divide both sides by 3/2
7/2 ÷ 3/2= w
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/2
7/2 * 2/3= w
(7*2)/(2*3)= w
14/6= w
reduce by 2
7/3= width as improper fraction
OR
2 1/3= width as mixed fraction
ANSWER: The width should be 2 1/3 yards wide (or 7/3 yards wide).
Hope this helps! :)
-6(x + 8) > - 36
-6x - 48 > -36
-6x > -36 + 48
-6x > 12
x < -12/6
x < -2 <=== possible solutions are anything less then - 2......like -3,-4,-5 etc
Answer: 2.25
Divide the corresponding values. You'll divide figure 2's length over figure 1's corresponding length. So 18/8 = 2.25
This means each side of figure 2 is 2.25 times larger than the corresponding side for figure 1
Divide 324 by 24. Which is 13.5
