C. Jasmine bought some tiles to put around her patio. . .
They asked for area which is always L x W, which was the give away.
We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Change 13% as a fraction. It will be 13/100
Now, which is bigger? 13/100 or 3/25
Cross multiply and 13/100 is bigger.
13 3
___ X ____
100 25
13×25=325 and 3×100=300. Now you know 13/100 is bigger.
The answer is 13/100
14-6 over 3--2
8/5
.................,
Which answer :) xx just for help
