Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The scale factor of two similar hexagons is 5:12.
The smaller hexagon has an area of 24 square units
we know, the ratio of two similar figures is equal to the square of the scale factor.
Suppose the area of the larger hexagon is A
![\therefore \dfrac{24}{A}=\left[\dfrac{5}{12}\right]^2\\\\\Rightarrow A=\left[\dfrac{12}{5}\right]^2\times 24\\\\\Rightarrow A=138.24\ \text{square units}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctherefore%20%5Cdfrac%7B24%7D%7BA%7D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7B5%7D%7B12%7D%5Cright%5D%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7B12%7D%7B5%7D%5Cright%5D%5E2%5Ctimes%2024%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20A%3D138.24%5C%20%5Ctext%7Bsquare%20units%7D)
Answer:
2/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perform multiplication across the fractions. C'mon.
<span>To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,
by turning into fractions
</span><span>[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2
</span><span>[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8
</span><span> 11/2 - 27/8
</span>To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4
44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.
17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1.
<span>In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.</span>
You can use a calculator, or use long division
