Answer:

15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

42 = 2L + 2(6)

first, we need to isolate L.

solve 2(6) to make this easier

42 = 2L + 12

42 - 12 = 2L + 12 - 12 ( this cancels out 12. )

30 = 2L

30 ÷ 2 = 2L ÷ 2 ( this cancels out 2. )

15 = L

Answer:

$a.\hspace{3} \frac{6}{38} = 0.15789474\\\\b.\hspace{3} \frac{45}{55} = 0.81818181\\\\c.\hspace{3} \frac{4}{28} = 0.14285714\\\\d.\hspace{3} \frac{35}{28} = 1.25\\\\e.\hspace{3} \frac{1030}{2030} = 0.50738916$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers, expressed as decimal numbers, are obtained from the operation of division between the integer of the numerator and the integer of the denominator. Then:

$a.\hspace{3} \frac{6}{38} = 6\div38 = 0.15789474\\\\ b.\hspace{3} \frac{45}{55} = 45\div55 = 0.81818181\\\\c.\hspace{3} \frac{4}{28} = 4\div28 = 0.14285714\\\\ d.\hspace{3} \frac{35}{28} = 35\div28 = 1.25\\\\ e.\hspace{3} \frac{1030}{2030} = 1030\div2030 = 0.50738916$
