Question

HELPPP ME PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP

Answer 1

Answer:   choice F) 12 & 1/2 square yards.

=====================================================

We'll use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

to convert from a mixed number to an improper fraction.

Let's convert the first mixed number to an improper fraction

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

3 & 3/4 = (3*4 + 3)/4

3 & 3/4 = 15/4

Repeat the same idea for the second mixed number as well

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

3 & 1/3 = (3*3 + 1)/3

3 & 1/3 = 10/3

--------------------

In short we have

• 3 & 3/4 = 15/4
• 3 & 1/3 = 10/3

Doing these conversions is useful to be able to multiply the values like so:

(15/4)*(10/3) = (15*10)/(4*3) = 150/12 = (6*25)/(6*2) = 25/2

Now use your calculator to find that 25/2 = 12.5

We can then say....

12.5 = 12 + 0.5 = 12 + (1/2) = 12 & 1/2

The answer is choice F) 12 & 1/2 square yards.
