Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 divided by 3/1 turns into 1/2 x 1/3 and when multiplying numerators and denominators with each other, you get 1/6.
Answer:
The value of x is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.
Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:

Both fractions are equal, so:

Applying cross multiplication:



The value of x is 3.
If you would like to know in which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step, you can calculate this using the following steps:
3(2x - 4) = 8 + 2x + 6
6x - 12 = 8 + 2x + 6
6x - 12 = 14 + 2x ... Step 2
6x - 2x = 14 + 12
4x = 26
x = 26/4 = 13/2
The correct result would be Step 2; <span>6x - 12 = 14 + 2x.</span>
First we need the distances of the sides of the polygon, because perimeter = sum of all sides.






Now, we add all sides for the perimeter:
p = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5
p = 3+5+5+3+4 = 20 units
