1/2 = 0.5

12 & 1/2 = 12 + 1/2 = 12 + 0.5 = 12.5

4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

Refer to the diagram below. Note how I divided the figure into two rectangles.

The larger red rectangle is 12.5 feet by 10 feet. It has area 12.5*10 = 125 square feet.

The smaller blue rectangle has dimensions 4.5 feet by 5 feet (the 5 is from 15-10 = 5), so it has area 4.5*5 = 22.5 square feet

Now add up those individual areas to get the total area

125+22.5 = 147.5

Then convert that to a mixed number

147.5 = 147 + 0.5 = 147 + 1/2 = 147 & 1/2

<h3>The correct area is 147 & 1/2 feet</h3>

There are x number of students at helms. If the number of students increases by 7.8% each year, how many students will be there

vodomira [7]

There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.

The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x

Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of students in next year }=x+7.8 \% \text { of } x} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x\left(1+\frac{7.8}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x(1+0.078)=1.078 x}\end{array}$
