Answer:
249 centimeters squared
Step-by-step Explanation:
The area of the rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
= 15.5 x 18
= 279
Area of the smaller rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
= 4 x 7.5
= 30
We do not need this 30.
Area of the shaded region:
= 279 - 30
= 249 cm²
Note the hundredth place value (underlined and bolded):
9.3<u>7</u>5
Look at the number to the right of the hundredth place value. It is a 5. Because you round up if the number is 5 or greater, you round up in this case (you round down if it is 4 or less).
9.375 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 9.38

Answer:
no enough info
Step-by-step explanation:
Oldest = 2 times Youngest -> O = 2*Y
Middle = Youngest + 5 -> M = Y+5
All of them together is 57 -> O + M + Y = 57
So you have these three equations:
(1) O = 2*Y
(2) M = Y+5
(3) O + M + Y = 57
Now you want to reduce the number of variables. You can change the second equation to be Y = M-5 and then plug in "M-5" wherever there is currently a Y:
(4) O = 2*(M-5) = 2*M - 10
(5) O + M + (M-5) = 57
which becomes O + 2M = 62
Then you plug in the "O" equation (4) into (5) which gives you
(2M-10) + 2M = 62 which reduces to 4M = 72.
So now I know M is 18.
I can now plug that into my other equations:
(4) O = 2*18 - 10 which means O = 26.
Now I plug that into (1) from the top:
26 = 2*Y which becomes 13 = Y
So now I have O, Y, and M
Oldest is 26
Middle is 18
Youngest is 13
Reading the sentence again, you can see that this makes sense.
