X- the number of pumpkin she had initially
she gave you x/2
x-x/2=x/2
(x/2)/2=x/4(she gave Coral)
x/2-x/4=x/4
x/4=6
x=24
To find the perimeter, you would add all the sides. Because we know the perimeter, we can represent this as an equation that needs solved.
362 = x + (2x) + (3x + 2), combine the like terms
362 = 6x + 2, subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
<u>360</u> = <u>6x</u>, divide both sides by 6
6 6
x = 60 feet
side 1 = 60 feet
side 2 = 120 feet
side 3 = 182 feet
check your work: 60 + 120 + 182 = 362 feet
A mixed number is in the form x y/z while a improper fraction (76/10) is in the form y/z. We can separate the fraction into two parts. One is 70/10 which = 7 and the other is 6/10 which simplifies to 3/5. So, in order to express 76/10 as a mixed number we must express it as 7 3/5 or 7 6/10. 7 3/5 is equal to 7 6/10.
I hope this helped you!
