Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

example :

2 1/4 + 3 1/2

you can either turn them to improper fractions, find the common denominator, and then add them and then convert that answer to a mixed number

2 1/4 + 3 1/2 = 9/4 + 7/2 = 9/4 + 14/4 = 23/4 = 5 3/4

separate them....add the whole numbers, then the fractions

2 1/4 + 3 1/2 .......2 + 3 = 5.....1/4 + 1/2 = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.....now put them back together and u get : 5 3/4

[ Answer ]

$\boxed{2y \ + \ 28}$

[ Explanation ]

4(y + 6) - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] 4(y + 6): 4y + 24

4y + 24 - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] -2(y - 2): -2y + 4

4y + 24 - 2y + 4

[Simplify] 4y + 24 - 2y + 4: 2y + 28

= 2y + 28

$\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}$

1/3 of the dimensions means to divide the dimensions by 3. This is to figure out what 1/3 of the dimensions are.
Our length is 6, and our width is 9.
Let's divide our length first.
6/3 = 2.
Our length with 1/3 of it's original dimensions is 2.
Let's divide our width now.
9/3 = 3.
Our width with 1/3 of it's original dimensions is 3.
Our dimensions are 2 by 3.
Your answer is A.) 2 in. by 3 in.
I hope this helps!
