Answer: 20/12
Step-by-step explanation: In order to get a 12 in the denominator
of 5/3, we multiply top and bottom of 5/3 by 4 to get 20/12.
So 20/12 is an equivalent fraction.
Your answer is 1 and 7/8.
Answer:
2(3x+2) is your answer because you factor out 2. The number 2 is a factor of both 6 and 4 (2*3=6 and 2*2=4).
<span>1st piece: x feet
2nd piece: 8-x feet
--------------------------
Use the "x" piece to form a circle:
Circumference = "x".
2(pi)*radius = x
radius = x/(2pi)
So, Area = pi[x/(2)]^2 = x^2/(4pi) = (1/4pi)x^2
=========================================================
Use the 10-x piece to form square:
side = (1/4pi)(10-x)
Area = side^2 = (1/16)(10-x)^2
Hope this helps! :)</span>
One may note, you never quite asked anything per se, ahemm, if you meant simplification.
