To re-phrase this: 50 is a certain percent of 90.
this can be written mathematically as 50=x%*90
let's divide both sides by 10:
5=x%*9
and divide both sides by 9:

which in decimals is approximately 0.56 (but not exactly).
so 0.56=x%
and the x then 56
so 50 is
approximately 56% of 90:
exactly 56%of 90 is 50.4
9 = 3^2
Since 3 squared equals 9, that is how 9 as a power of the base 3 should be written.
1. 1 1/8= 18/16
5/16*2= 10/16
4/16*2= 8/16
9/16= 9/16
1/2= 8/16
18/16 + 10/16 + 8/16 + 9/16 + 8/16= 53/16
Simplify:
4 & 5/16sq ft
2. All you do is multiply that by 3... so 4 & 5/16 = 53/16 53/16*3 = 159/16 = 9 & 15/16 sq ft
