Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

If the perimeter is 168 and the width is 6 feet longer than thr length what are the dimensions

Ksenya-84 [330]

$\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\ P=2(L+w)~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ P=168\\ w=\stackrel{\textit{6 feet longer than L}}{L+6} \end{cases}\implies 168=2(L+\stackrel{w}{L+6}) \\\\\\ 84=2L+6\implies 78=2L\implies \cfrac{78}{2}=L\implies \boxed{39=L} \\\\\\ w=39+6\implies \boxed{w=45}$

Mary ran 1/5 of 1 km each day. How many meters did she run from Monday to Wednesday?

lord [1]

Answer:

3/5 or 0.6 in decimal form

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is multiply 1/5 x 3 for the three days Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and that gets you 3/5 or as 1/5 of a km is 0.2 you have to multiply 0.2 x 3 and you get 0.6 which is equivalent to 3/5
