First you need to simplify it so
5 7/8 = 5x8=40 40+7=47 so at the moment you have 47/8
then do
11/4 is fine so find the common denominator
in this case its 8 so 4x2=8 and then 11x2=22 so you have 47/8-22/8
which = 25/8 then you simplify and you get <em><u>3 1/8</u></em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

See attachment for base dimension
Required
Determine the volume of the storage unit
From the attachment, we can split the base dimension into two rectangles.
CDEF and ABCG
And the dimensions are:
<u>CDEF</u>


So, the area of CDEF is:



<u>ABCG</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>


So, the base area is:


The volume is then calculated as:



Rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into a fraction. They can be negative or positive.
Integers are whole numbers. They can be negative or positive.
Numbers such as 0.10 are rational because they can be turned into a fraction
0.10 = 1/10....and since it is not a whole number, it is not an integer.
The solution to the equation is x < 1.25
