Hey there,
Solution:
Fabric needed = 1 3 / 4
Fabric she has = 4 5 / 8
1 3 / 4 - make the denominator into 8
1 3 / 4 = 1 6 / 8
Fabric left = 4 5 / 8 - 1 6 / 8
= 37 / 8 - 14 / 8
= 23 / 8
= 2 7 / 8
Hope this helps :))

Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks

Note that a squared pyramid has a square base & 4 equal triangles.
To find the lateral the lateral area you calculate the area of the 4 equal triangles and to find the surface area (total Area) you add the area of the base:
Area of each triangle = side (5) x slant (9) and you divide by 2
==>Aera of 1 triangle = (9x5)/2 = 45/2 & for the 4 triangles
Lateral area = (45/2) x 4 = 90 in²
Now the base area (square) = 5 x 5= 25 in²
so the surface area = 90+25 = 115 in² (answer a)
