Answer:

Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.

2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.

The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).

The answer is 4.5 for the side length of the pentagon and 7.5 is the side length for the triangle because 7.5*3(3 sides) = 22.5 and 4.5*5(5 sides)= 22.5. The perimeter is 22.5
