False, they actually decreased some.
The difference of 7 and 7/8 and 3 1/4 can be restated as the difference between 63/8 and 13/4. This is just a change from mixed numbers to improper fractions.
We must now get a common denominator (the bottom part of a fraction). To get 8, we must multiply by 2 to the denominator of 13/4. Since we want this number to stay in the same value, we have to multiply the numerator by 2 as well (top part of the fraction). Therefore, we are getting the difference of 63/8 and 26/8. Doing this, we get (63-26)/8, so the answer is 37/8 = 4 5/8
Answer:
16 m × 11 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of the gym is 20 m x 15 m. An outbound of 2m width is to be cut out from the gym to form the basketball court.
The original length of gym = 20 m and original width of gym = 15 m
2 m would be cut at both sides of the gym length for the outbound. Also 2 m would be cut at both sides of the gym width for the outbound. Therefore:
Length of basketball court = 20 m - (2 * 2m) = 20 m - 4 m = 16 m
Width of basketball court = 15 m - (2 * 2m) = 15 m - 4 m = 11 m
Therefore the dimensions of the basketball court is:
16 m × 11 m
Hey there :)
3 ( 2t + 1 )
We use what is called the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis
We multiply the term outside the parenthesis by all terms inside
3 ( 2t ) + 3 ( 1 )
6t + 3 → Your answer
