<h3>
Answer: 11/20</h3>
=====================================================
Work Shown:
x = unknown horizontal length
1/5 = 0.2
Perimeter = 2*(width + length)
P = 2*(0.2 + x)
P = 0.4 + 2x
Set this equal to the given perimeter of 1 & 1/2 = 1.5 and solve for x
0.4 + 2x = 1.5
2x = 1.5-0.4
2x = 1.1
x = (1.1)/2
x = 0.55
x = 55/100
x = (5*11)/(5*20)
x = 11/20
The absolute value of 3 above par means any value more than the absolute value of 3. The absolute value of 3 is (+) 3 since an absolute value of a number cannot be negative. Above par means positive (+), so more than the specified value of 3. <span />
Least to greatest: 5 10/11 , 5.822 , 5.84, 117/20.
Working conditions in the United States in the early 1900’s can best be described as atrocious.
