The number would be greater. if you think about normal multiplication, when you multiply a number by 1 the number stays the same, but when you multiple the number by less then one, i.e. a fraction you get a fraction of what you had. while a number greater then one, i.e. 2, the number increases. so 1.23 is greater then one so it would increase
D 120 sq in is the answer
The problem statement asks for the area of the pool. We will assume that is an error, and that you want to fill in the table with the area of the walkway.
Consider a walkway of width w. The outside dimension of the walkway will be 2w plus the dimension of the pool (since there is a walk on either side). Thus, the outside dimensions of the pool and walkway are 9+2w and 12+2w yards.
The area of the pool and walkway will be
... total area = pool area + walkway = (9 + 2w)(12 + 2w) = 9·12 + 2w(9+12) +4w²
... total area = (9·12) + walkway = 9·12 + 42w + 4w²
Subtracting the pool area gives the area of the walkway as
... walkway = 42w + 4w² = 2w(2w+21)
Using this formula, we can fill in the table

(a + b + c)/3 = A
(a + b + c)/3 x 3 = A x 3
a + b + c = A(3)
a- a + b + c - c = A(3) - a - c
b = A(3) - a - c
hope this helps
( i dont know if the A is suppose to be there or not sorry)

<u>The cost would be </u><u>$15.86</u>
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The cost of 1 steak is $6.10
The cost of 2 3/5 steaks will be
Cost of 2 3/5 steaks = 6.10 * 2 3/5
Cost of 2 3/5 steaks = $15.86
