Answer:

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

Let

a = shorter side

b = longer side

b = a + 2.5 inches

The perimeter of each tile is 37 inches

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

37 = 2{a + (a + 2.5)}

37 = 2{a + a + 2.5}

37 = 2(2a + 2.5)

37 = 4a + 5

37 - 5 = 4a

32 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4

a = 32/4

= 8

a = 8 inches

b = a + 2.5 inches

= 8 + 2.5

= 10.5 inches

b = 10.5 inches

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

7/11 converted to a decimal rounded up 2 places
astraxan [27]

Answer:

0.636

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we'll interpret the fraction bar to mean "divided by." This means that 7/11 is the same as 7 divided by 11.

Second, you have requested to see 2 decimal places in your answer, so we'll write the 7 as 7.00 instead (a 7 with 2 zeros after the decimal point).

Now, we'll just do what the fraction bar says: divide 7.00 by 11:

And that's about it! 7/11 written as a decimal to 3 decimal places is 0.636.
