Subtract what is to the right of the equal sign form both side of the equation but any way the answer is 0
The thing is that every 4 years, the tree grows 6 inches, so that could be expressed as a ratio, 4/6. That also means that every two years, the tree grows 3 inches since it could be simplified to 2/3.
8/15 x 5/6
•multiply across the numerator and denominator.
= 40/90
• then find a common factor that will go into both the numerator and denominator equally.
Common factor: 5
= 8/18
•there is another common factor, which is 2
Simplified:
=4/9
The answer is d because the perimeter of 6 by 6 would be 24 and that is the smallest perimeter.
