4/8 simplified to 1/2 because out of eight there are 4 even and 4 odd numbers 0.50
Prime factorization means finding the prime numbers that you can multiply to make a certain number.
So, he prime factorization of 36 would be 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 or 2, 2, 3, and 3.
Just to make sure: 2 x 2 = 4 4 x 3 = 12 12 x 3 = 36
There's your answer!
We are given
Jim's backyard:
Length is

width is

Since, this is rectangle
so, we can find area of rectangle



Area of one sod:
length is

width is

Since, it is rectangle in shape
so,



Number of pieces of sod:
we can use formula
Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)

now, we can simplify it
pieces need ..............Answer
Multiply 3.3 by everything in the parenthesis.
3.3x - 26.4 - x = 1.2
Combine like terms.
2.3x - 26.4 = 1.2
Add 26.4 to both sides.
2.3x = 27.6
Divide 2.3 on both sides.
x = 12
Hope this helps!
