We need to find a common denominator(bottom number of fraction)
5/3 = 25/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 5)
1/5 = 3/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 3)
Now since the denominator is the same we can add to get 25/15 + 3/15 = 28/15
Answer:
80 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
We know we have a width of 8 yards and a perimeter of 36.
how I figured it out was:
36=(8*2) * (x*2)
8*2=16
36-16=10
So now we know the length and width.
area of a rectangle is lw (length * width)
10*8=80.
