You should write numbers in as many ways as you possibly can to make new connections in your brain. Knowing how to write numbers in many different ways can help you solve complex problems more easily. Doing this can also reinforce the mathematical principles and logic you have memorised.
Writing one in many different ways:
1=1/1=2/2=3/3=4/4=(-1)/(-1)=(-2)/(-2)
=1.0=1.00=1.000=(1/2)+(1/2)=(1/3)+(1/3)+(1/3)
=(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)
Writing a half in many different ways:
1/2=(1/4)+(1/4)=(1/6)+(1/6)+(1/6)
=(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)=4*(1/8)
=2/4=3/6=4/8=5/10=0.5=0.50
etc...etc...
The answer is, 9/50
0.18 = 0.18/1
0.18/1 x 100/100 = 18/100
18/100 divided by 2/2 = 9/50
In conclusion the answer is 9/50.
Hopefully that helped! :)
Big rectangle
3x-4 (2x+2) = 6x^2-8x+6x-8
=6x^2-2x-8 = 3x^2-x-4
Small rectangle
(X-3) (x-6) = x^2-3x-6x+18
=x^2-9x+18
Big-small= 2x^2+8x-22 is the area of the shaded region
you multiply 35 to 72 to get 2520 and then multiply 23 to 94=2139 add both of the answers to get 4659
