I believe that 30.5 as a fraction is 30 and 1 half but don't take my word
To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.
Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.
You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.
The answer to 9 would be (-3,-4) and (2,6) because if you plug in -3 for x in either of the equations and plug in 4 for y in the equations, both sides of the equation are the same number. also, if you plug in 2 for x and 6 for y both sides of the equation equal each other. The answer to 10 is (-1,1) and (7,33). if you plug them in they are equal:)
Answer:
15/25 can be simplified to 3/5.
