Using proportions, it is found that Felipe needs 23.625 meters of wood to make that many birdhouses.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
To make an amount, he needs 5 1/4 meters = 5.25 meters. How many meters he needs to make 4 1/2 = 4.5 times the amount?
5.25 x 4.5 = 23.625 meters.
Felipe needs 23.625 meters of wood to make that many birdhouses.

Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.
notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".
now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.

Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.
-------
Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
