4) -0.3 = -1/3 < -1/7 since the bigger a negative number is the less positive it is. 1/8 is positive so it is clear that it should be placed last. & thus do all options this way.
5) B
Area of a triangle = ½ bh.
where b = base &
h = height.
Area of outer shape = (½ x 16 x 12) in^2.
= 96 in^2.
Area of unshaded inner shape = (½ x 3 x 4) in^2.
= 6 in^2.
Area of shaded region = (96 – 6) in^2.
= 90 in^2.
The solution to the equation is x < 1.25
$97.23 - $29.74 = $67.49
$67.49 + $118.08 = $185.57
Taylor's new balance is $185.57.
