25 because 4(8)-7 = 32-7 = 25
The perimeter is the total of adding all of the side lengths together.
A square has 4 equal side lengths.
So the perimeter of a square is:
P = s + s + s + s or P = 4s
[P = perimeter s = side lengths of the square]
Since you know the side length of the square is (x + 2 1/4), you can replace s with (x + 2 1/4)
P = 4s
P = 4(x + 2 1/4) Multiply 4 into (x + 2 1/4)
P = 4x + 8 4/4
P = 4x + 9
Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it in.(you could have also plugged it in in the beginning)
P = 4x + 9
14 = 4x + 9 Subtract 9 on both sides
5 = 4x Divide 4 on both sides
5/4 = x
Now that you know x, find the side length of the square.
(x + 2 1/4)
(5/4 + 2 1/4)
2 6/4 = 3 2/4 = 3 1/2 units or 3.5 units
To find the area of a square, you multiply 2 of the sides together:
A = s · s
A = 3.5 · 3.5
A = 12.25 units²
Answer:
The answer should be .25
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer should be .25 because:
- there are 4 places you can score and since you want it to land on 5 and there is only one 5 it counts as a 1
- the since there are 4 in total and you want to land on 1 you get 1/4 the number one standing for there only being one 5 and the 4 standing for the number of places to land on.
-then you convert the 1/4 into a decimal which makes .25
To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).
To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.
4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3
2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)
Answer: 9 2/7 tons.
