Mario painted 2/6 of the wall in his bedroom. Mei Lyn painted 2/4 of a wall in her bedroom.

1 answer:

4 0

Well I am assuming you want to compare them or something so yeah:

You have to find a common denominator of 4 & 6, so you could multiply them together, this makes 24. Because you have to do the same thing to the top and the bottom, you have to multiply 2/4 (which is now 2/24) by 6, and the 2/6 (which again is 2/24) by 4 which leaves you with 12/24 (2/4) and 8/24 (2/6).

We can simplify these fractions by dividing them, but as you may know 12 is half of 24 so 12/24 would also be 1/2.
If you keep dividing by 2 you will find that 8/24 is also equal to 1/3. This is easier to find out by the beginning number but I mentioned it anyway because I didn't understand what you were asking.

Overall if you noticed when comparing 2/4 and 2/6 we found that Mei Lyn painted more wall than Mario.

A square is folded into half to form a rectangle. the perimeter of the rectangle is 36cm. calculate the area of a square

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Let the measure of each side of the square be " x " cm.

then ,

area of square = x²

After we folded the square into a rectangle ,

length of rectangle = x

breadth of rectangle = x/2

perimeter of rectangle = 36 cm

$x + \frac{x}{2} + x + \frac{x}{2} = 36 \\ \\ \frac{2x + x + 2x + x}{2} = 36 \\ \\ \frac{6x}{2} = 36 \\ \\ 6x = 36 \times 2 \\ \\ 6x = 72 \\ \\ 6x = \cancel{\frac{72}{6} } = 12cm$

hence ,

side of square = 12 cm

therefore ,

area of square = 12 × 12 = 144 cm²

Help! (tell me if you can’t see it)

Answer:

B. y=7x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the changes of y over the changes of x. y sub 2 - y sub 1 divided by x sub 2 over x sub 1. So, 17 - 10 over 2 - 1 = 7. 3 is the y-intercept. y=7x+3
