Answer:Holly drank 12 bottles in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the fraction 1 2/5 litre into a decimal, by doing this, we can know how many litres are there in 2/5.

So= 1 2/5

= 2 ÷5 = 0.4

= 1 + 0.4 = 1.4 liters

1.4 liters is the amount of water in a bottle.

Next, also change the fraction 2 2/5 litres into a decimal.

So=2 2/5

= 2÷5 = 0.4

= 2 + 0.4 = 2.4 liters

She drinks 2.4 liters a day.

To find how many bottles she drank in 1 week, we must multiply the amount of water she drinks in a day to the days in a week.

So= 1 week= 7 days

= 1 day= 2.4 liters

So= 2.4 × 7 = 16.8

She drinks 16.8 in a week.

To find how much bottles she drank in a week, we must divide the amount of liters she drank in one week to the amount of liters are there in a bottle.

So= 16.8 ÷ 1.4= 12 bottles

Holly drinks 12 bottles in a week.

I hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's wrong and complicated.

What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (−2, 1) , (−2, 4) , (2, 7) , (6, 4) , and (6, 1)

Check the picture below.

now, the sides at the bottom, the straight sides, are plain to see how long each is, you can pretty much count the units off the grid.

so, the only ones you need the distance formula or pythagorean theorem is the slanted ones, there are two, and both are equal, so, just get the length of one, and double it up.

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(4-7)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{16+9}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25}\implies d=5$

double that up, and both slanted sides are 10, the perimeter is all sides summed up.

$\mathsf{\dfrac{8(4 - 2^6)}{4}}$

$\mathsf{2^6}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow 4\times4\times4}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow 16\times4}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow \bf 64}$

$\mathsf{= \dfrac{8(4 - \bf 64)}{4}}$

$\mathsf{4 - 64}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow \bf -60}$

$\mathsf{= \dfrac{8(\bf -60)}{4}}$

$\mathsf{8(-60)}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow \bf -480}$
