Answer:

1. area of new pen = 11 \frac{1}{4} ft^{2}

2. i. 5 feet by 2\frac{1}{4} feet

ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the pen as planned = 5 ft long by 4 ½ ft wide

Area of the pen = length x width

                           = 5 x 4 ½

                           = 5 x \frac{9}{2}

Area of the pen = \frac{45}{2}

                           = 22 ½ ft^{2}

But, Krista has to make the pen ½ the size of planned. So that;

area of new pen = ½ x 22 ½

        = ½ x \frac{45}{2}

        = \frac{45}{4}

        = 11 \frac{1}{4}

area of new pen = 11 \frac{1}{4} ft^{2}

The area of the new pen would be 11 \frac{1}{4} ft^{2}.

The possible values she could use are:

i. 5 feet by 2\frac{1}{4} feet

ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet

elaine's mother is now 38 years old. seven years from now she will be five times as old as elaine will be then. write and solve
vfiekz [6]
In seven years her mother will be 38 +7 = 45 years old.

She will be 5 times as old, so divide 45 by 5: 45/5 = 9. Elaine will be 9 years old then, so she is 9-7 = 2 years old now.
