-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.
-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.
With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible.
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be
(13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .
= (13-ft) x (3-ft)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 13-ft) + (2 x 3-ft)
= (26-ft) + (6-ft) = 32 feet <== shortest perimeter.
-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area. That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.
The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .
= (39-ft) x (1-ft) .
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 39-ft) + (2 x 1-ft)
= (78-ft) + (2-ft) = 80 feet .
What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

Answer: d
explanation: baseball cards already take up half so it cant be a or c because those are more than half and if you add all of the numbers up you would get 40. 15 out if 40 is 3/8 and baseball cards take up 4/8 and football cards take up 1/8 so your answer would be d.
The question is incomplete:
James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?
a. $10.00
b. $6.20
c.$15.50
d.$25.00
Answer:
d.$25.00
Step-by-step explanation:
With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:
x+y=162 (1)
0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of quarters
First, you can solve for x in (1):
x=162-y (3)
Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:
0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20
16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20
0.15y=31.20-16.2
0.15y=15
y=15/0.15
y=100
Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:
x=162-100
x=62
Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:
100*0.25=25
According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.
