Answer:
120 square feet ( 13.333 square yards)
Step-by-step explanation:
8 ft x 15 feet = 120 ft^2
An easy way is to do it, if you get confused by multiplying fractions, is by turning the fractions into decimals. Since you are trying to find N you want to multiply the 1/5 by the 1/3.
1/5 = 0.2
1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333
if you multiply those you get 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 which when put into a fraction it equals 1/15
but if you don't want to do that just try to remember that you want to get by itself. and when multiplying fractions in this situation the bottom numbers only matter.. so 5 x 3 = 15 1/15
would you like me to put it in a document to show you?
X-62=123
+62 +62
_________
x=185
you need to add a positive 62 from each side so -62+62=0 and 123+62=185
therefore, x=185
:Done! hope this helps!
