The correct order would be:
5/64 x 3, 1/16 x 3, 3/32 x 4, 11/64 x 4, 7/16 x 3, 3/4 x 2, 3/8 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4, 2.25 x 2, 1.5 x 4, 3 3/8 x 3, 3.75 x 3
First we have to take all of the numbers and do the multiplication. It's often easiest to turn them in to decimals so that you have a common form.
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
3.75 x 3 = 11.25
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
Now we can use those to put in order.
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
3.75 x 3 = 11.25
Which if you are looking for without the extra terms, you can check the answer at the top.
The sides could be 1,14 or 2,7
Sum. To build the triangle, start with 1 at the top, then continue placing numbers below it in a triangular pattern. Each number is the numbers directly above it added together.
13x-1
Is the answer, you have to get all you terms that being x+6+12x-7
6-7=-1
X+12x=13x
Put them together with the Xs first
13x-1
