To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40
Given:
6 fewer than a is no less than -78
The algebraic expression will be as follows:
Fewer than means (-)
No less than means (≥)
Answer:
B. (−2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the midpoint of a segment, add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2. Add the y-coordinates of the segments and divide by 2.
x: (5 + (-9))/2 = -2
y: (-1 + 7)/2 = 3
Midpoint: (-2, 3)
Answer: B. (−2, 3)
Answer:
Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
-1.7 + (-6.3)
Correct simplification
-1.7 + (-6.3)
Open parenthesis
= - 1.7 - 6.3
= -8
NOTE:
- * + = -
- * - = +
+ * - = -
+ * + = +
Maureen's simplification
-1.7 + (-6.3)
= 1.7 - 6.3
= -4.6
Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7
