Answer: 7 9/10 gallons of paint  

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike needs:

Red paint: 4 4/5 gallons

Brown paint: 3 1/10 gallons

Those are mixed fractions. To facilitate, we need to transform them into Improper fraction (numerator > denominator), so:

4 4/5 = (5*4+4)/5 = 24/5

3 1/10 = (10*3+1) = 31/10

So, Mike needs:

Red paint: 4 4/5 gallons = 24/5

Brown paint: 3 1/10 gallons = 31/10

To find out how much gallons of paint he needs in total, we need to sum the amounts of red and brown paint:

<u>24</u> + <u>31</u> =<u> 48 + 31 </u>= <u>79</u>

5     10        10        10

So, he needs 79/10 gallons of paint. To transform into mixed fraction again:

79/10 = 70/10 + 9/10 = 7 + 9/10

7 9/10 gallons of paint

Width is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

25/5 = 5cm

What is the value of "?" if the Perimeter = 50 km?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

14km

Explanation

11km + 11km = 22km is the sum of both the width.

If you want to find the length than minus the perimeter with 22.

50km - 22km = 28km is the sum of both the length.

To know only one side of the length, divide it by 2.

28km/2 = 14km is the length
