Answer:
3 quarts = 3/4 gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
3/12 is a rational number because rational numbers can be written in the form of a/b
When you simplify 3/12, you get 1/4, which is a fraction
The picture can be divided into 2 same triangles and one rectangular.
The triangle areas is {1/2 *base * height}*2 (because 2 same triangles)
and you need to sum rectangular area (width * base).
The result will be area of 2 triangle +area of rectangular.
=2(1/2*base of triangle* height)+ (base of rectangular * height)
= (base of triangle* height)+(base of rectangular * height)
=(base of triangle +base of rectangular)*height
b1 is top length
b2 is bottom length, and so
Base of triangle =(b1-b2/2)
Base of rectangular =b2
Height =h
Thus A ={(b1-b2/2)+b2 }*h
A= [(b1+b2)/2]*h
Answer:
Original Salary: 
Increase in 3%: 
Step-by-step explanation:
So when something increases by x%, the new value is (100+x)% the original value. So 6255, is 105% the original value. This means to find the original value, we have to find the number that has 6255 as 105% of it's value. Whenever you try to find x% of a number, you multiply it by the decimal value of the percentage, which is found by dividing by 100. So to find x%, you do: 
where o = original value, x=percent. In this case the percent is 105%, which when divided by 100 is 1.05. So this gives us the equation: 
. This is his original salary. You need to do this process, do not make the mistake of subtracting 5% from 6255. This is because 5% of 6255 does not equal the 5% of the original value. 5% of 6255 should be greater than 5% of the original value, since the new value is an increase of 5%. So since we have his original salary, we can calculate the salary increase had it been 3%. to do this we multiply by 1.03 (103% divided by 100). This gives us the equation:
