Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x

2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  }

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }

Let's equal this too 8/x

\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }

Cross multiply. 

8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x

Divide both sides by 15.

\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x

Write the expression for the Area of the polygon BORT MO 6 A= O A = 6m + mp O A = mp + 1/2(6m) O A = mp + 6p
anyanavicka [17]

We are asked to determine the area of the given figure. To do that we will divide the figure into a square and a triangle. The area of the square is the product of its dimension, therefore, the area is:

A_{sq}=mp

The area of the triangle is given by the following formula:

A_t=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is its height. Replacing the values:

A_t=\frac{(6)(m)}{2}=\frac{1}{2}6m

The total area is the sum of both areas:

A=A_{sq}+A_t

replacing the areas:

A=mp+\frac{1}{2}6m
