P= perimeter. x= # of inches. 4=number of sides in a square
P= 4x
so, P= 13.4 x 4. Therefore, the perimeter is 53.6 inches.
(3 - 2)(3 + 21) = 9 + 63 - 6 - 42 = 72 - 6 - 42 = 66 - 42 = 24 (I got 24 as my final answer)
These problems are what is known as changing a mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Lets start with 5 1/8.
What we want to do is take the big number on the side and add it to the top of the fraction in a special way to make it an improper fraction. (An improper fraction means a fraction with a bigger top than bottom).
To add 5 to 1/8, we have to multiply 5 by 8 and then add it. 5 times 8 is 40 so if we add that to the top we know that the improper fraction we are looking for is 41/8.
We can do the same thing for 3 4/12, multiply 3 by 12 and add it to the top of the fraction. 3 times 12 is 36, add that to the top to get 40/12.
See if you can do 1 6/12 and comment with an answer, if you get it wrong I will keep helping you till we get this down!
So basically you do two of the equations first and then solve for the last equation. Please Refer To The Picture
