2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
        
                    
             
        
        
        
When you add all of the totals together your total amount will be $35.875
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = L
Width = W
L=8 more than 2W
L = 8 * 2W
L = 16W
Perimeter = 96
perimeter is the lengths of all sides added together
so
2L + 2W = 96
we have 
L = 16W
2L + 2W = 96
let's do substitution
put what L = into 2L + 2W = 96
so
2(16W) + 2W = 96
can you rearrange that to get w
