<h3>Answer: 7/20</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

One large square cake cuts into 4 smaller slices

Since we have 5 such cakes that are cut like this, we have 5*4 = 20 slices all together.

Count the number of dark shaded slices that are shown in the lower diagram. We have 4+3+4+2 = 7+6 = 13 slices of cake that are left over. This must mean the class ate 20-13 = 7 slices.

The fraction of the cakes eaten is 7/20

Notes:

7/20 = 35/100 = 0.35 = 35%
The fraction 7/20 cannot be reduced further because 7 and 20 have no common factors other than 1.

Find the are of a parallelogram that has a base of 7 1/2 and a height of 5 2/7

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

$\sf A=bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=(7\dfrac{1}{2})(5\dfrac{2}{7})$

Convert both of them into improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf A=(\dfrac{15}{2})(\dfrac{37}{7})$

Now multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf A=\dfrac{15}{2}\cdot\dfrac{37}{7}\rightarrow\dfrac{15\cdot 37}{2\cdot 7}\rightarrow\dfrac{555}{14}$

Convert it back into a mixed number. 14 goes into 555 thirty-nine times. 14 * 39 = 546. 555 - 546 = 9. So we have 39 wholes and 9 left over, or:

$\sf 39\dfrac{9}{14}$

So this is the area of the parallelogram.
