Well, you first have to make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. You then multiply the two fractions and ad the whole number into the total.
That's how i was taught back in the 4th grade... i'm not sure if it's correct but i hope it is-
12^2+x^2=15^2
144+x^2=225
- 144 -144
=81= 9
X=9
Answer:
9 square kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's round the width to 2.0 kilometers, and round the length to 4.5 kilometers.
We know that area is length times width, so
A = lw
A = 2.0*4.5
<u>A = 9.0 square kilometers</u>
If we do this on the calculator, it's around 9.36 square kilometers, so our estimate was good.
If a,b,c are the 3 positive integers
1/a +1/b +1/c > 6/abc
(bc+ac+ab)/abc >6/abc so
(bc+ac+ab)>6
The lowest positive integers that are different are 1,2,3 so the lowest value that (bc+ac+ab) could have is 1•2+2•3+1•3=2+6+3= 11 therefore
1/a +1/b +1/c > 6/abc is true
