To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40
If y varies directly as the square of x, that means that y=k*x^2. Plugging y=100 and x=5 into it, we get 100=k*5^2=k*25. Dividing by both sides, we get k=100/25=4. Going back to the original equation, we now know that y=4*x^2. Plugging 9=x in, we get 4*9^2=4*81=324=y
Answer:
Niamh gets 12 and Jack gets 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
4:8 is equal to 1:2. 1 part + 2 parts is equal to 3 parts, which is equal to the whole. 36 is the whole, so 36/3 is equal to 12. 1 * 12 is equal to 12, and 2 * 12 is equal to 24.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = length x breadth x height
= 4 x 6 x 10
= 240 cubic feet
