A community is planning to build a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is 17 /4 feet (ft), and the perimeter of the gard

Lynna [10]

Answer:

34 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the other side of the garden in order to find the area a=l*w

The formula to find the length is, p-w*2=x x÷2=l

because, perimeter is l+l+w+w and area is just l*w

4.25*2=8.50

24.50-8.50=16

16÷2=8

l=8

So now we need to multiply the length and width to get the area.

8*4.25=34 sq. ft.

I hope that helps!

What is 04.151515... into a fraction

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 4.\overline{15} = \frac{137}{33}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by separating this decimal number into its integer part and its fraction part:

$4.151515\cdots = 4 + 0.151515\cdots$

The most challenging task here is to express $0.151515\cdots$ as a proper fraction. Once that fraction is found, expressing the original number $4.151515\cdots$ will be as simple as rewriting a mixed number as an improper fraction.

Let $x = 0.151515\cdots$ . $(x + 4)$ would then represent the original number.

Note that the repeating digits appear in groups of two. Therefore, if the digits in $x$ are shifted to the left by two places, the repeating part will continue to match:

$\begin{aligned}x = 0.&151515\cdots && \\ 100\, x = 15.& 151515\cdots \end{aligned}$ .

Note, that this "shifting" is as simple as multiplying the initial number by $100$ (same as $10$ raised to the power of the number of digits that needs to be shifted.)
