6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3

Hi there.

So, we've got the dimensions. 

<em>l</em> = 12, <em /><em>w</em> = 8

We know that the width has been divided by 4. That means we also divide the length by 4. This gives us the new dimensions of:

<em>l</em> = 3, <em>w</em> = 2

A = <em>lw</em> 

3 · 2 = 6 ft²

Cheers~

The table below shows the number of people in a spinning class each day last week.
Elena-2011 [213]
Well to find the mean you need to add up the total number of people and then divide by the total number of days meaning if there is a total of 105 people, you would divide that by 5 and get 21

13 + 23 + 24 + 31 + 14 = 105

105 / 5 = 21
