1/2 can be rewritten as 3/6, and 2/3 can be rewritten as 4/6 (find the lowest common denominator and in this case it is 6 because 2x3=6). 3/6+4/6=7/6. 12 can rewritten as 24/6, so do 24/6 - 7/6 and you answer is 17/6.

Complete the inequality statement 7/10 ___ 11/20 > < =

densk [106]

To start, give each fraction a common denominator by multiplying the 7/10 by two to get 14/20, an equivalent but not simplified fraction. now compare 14/20 and 11/20. 14/20 is greater than 11/20, so 7/10 > 11/20.

What is the area of a rectangle with vertices at (0, −4) , (−1, −3) , (2, 0) , and (3, −1) ? Enter your answer in the box

Bad White [126]

We are given vertices of a rectangle (0, −4) , (−1, −3) , (2, 0) , and (3, −1).

Length is the distance between (0, −4) and (−1, −3) points.

Width is distance between (−1, −3) and (2, 0) points.

Computing length:

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$
