Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
This isn't really a geometry problem. It's just an addition of fractions.
You know that 'perimeter' means 'the distance all the way around'.
And you know the length of all the sides of the parallelogram.
All you need to do is add them up !
(13/12) + (3/13) + (13/12) + (3/13) = the perimeter
Notice that two of the sides are equal, and the other two sides are also equal.
So you can make the job a little easier if you add up the twelfths first
(13/12) + (13/12) = 26/12
and then add up the thirteenths ...
(3/13) + (3/13) = 6/13 .
Now, the perimeter looks a little bit less complicated.
It's just
(26/12) + (6/13) = the perimeter.
This is the tough part. Before you can add fractions, they need to have
a common denominator.
The smallest common denominator for 12ths and 13ths is <em>156 </em>!
Change each fraction to (<em>something over 156</em>), and add um up.
I'll leave that part to you.
According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

And the following expression represents the combined area of the walkway around the rectangular garden and the area of the garden:

You can identify that the word "combined" indicates that that expression was obtained by adding both areas.
Knowing the above, you can set up the following equation:

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.
Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

The answer is:
Answer:
b. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The first five mutiples of 7 are:<em> 7, 14, 21, 28, 35. </em>You can get these by multiplying 7 to any integer.
- 7x1 = 7
- 7x2 = 14
- 7x3 = 21
- 7x4 = 28
- 7x5 = 35
In order to get the average of these numbers, you have to add them and divide the sum to the total number of multiples.
Let's add first.
7+14+21+28+35 = 105
Let's divided 105 by 5, which is the number of the multiples of 7.
105÷5 = 21
<em>The answer is 21.</em>
