First, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to the improper fraction 3/2. We're given that it takes 3/2 days to install 3/5 of a fence. We're looking for how long it takes to install one whole fence - or 5/5 of a fence. To determine that, let's first find out how long it takes to install <em>1/5 of a fence</em>, and then multiply that quantity by 5 to obtain our answer.
If it takes 3/2 days (3 half-days) to install 3/5 of a fence (3 fifths of a fence), then it makes sense that it would take <em>1/2 </em><em>day</em> (<em>1 </em>half-day) to install <em>1/5</em> of a fence (<em>1 </em>fifth of a fence).
If it takes 1/2 day to install 1/5 of a fence, then it should take 5 times that amount of time to install all 5/5 of it, or 5 * (1/2) = 5/2 days, or 2 1/2 days as a mixed number.

Answer:
81 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a diagram to represent what you know.
You don't know the values of the lengths so represent them algebraically.
You know the perimeter is 45 inches and that the perimeter is calculated by the sum of all of the sides of a shape.
You can rearrange to find the value of a side you've denoted as some unknown variable.
The area is given by the product of the sides. Express this algebraically and then input the value you found.
