Question

If the lengths of the sides of a triangle measure 5/4 m 3/2 m and 1/8 m, determine its perimeter.

Answer 1

Answer:

23/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle we need to add all the sides. Since the sides all have different denominators in their fractions, first we need to make the denominator the same.

5/4 = 10/8

3/2 = 12/8

1/8 = 1/8

Then we just add the numerators and keep the denominator the same, which gets us 23/8 meters. Since 23/8 can be simplified, that's the answer.
