16/25 = 0.64 = 64%
Another way to do it is to multiply top and bottom by 4
16/25 = (16*4)/(25*4) = 64/100 = 64%
Either way, the answer is 64%
The area of a square is
s • s
We can also write this as
s^2
So, for any side length “s”, we can make a function, A(s), such that
A(s) = s^2
Now that we have a quadratic equation for the area of a square, let’s go ahead and solve for the side lengths of a square with a given area. In this case, 225 in^2
225 = s^2
Therefore,
s = sqrt(225)
s = 15
So, the dimensions are 15 x 15 in
Ex 1:
2/5 x 4/5
Multiply both the numerators together and then multiply both the denominators together. You would multiply 2x4 which is 8 and 5x5 which is 25. Which leaves you with 8/25 and it will stay that way because you cannot simplify it further.
Ex 2:
2/5 and 5/3
Multiply across 2x5/5x3 and you end up with 10/15 which can be simplified/reduced to 2/3 because they share a common factor of 5.
8 - (-10) = 18
18 / 3 = 6
hope this helps
