Answer:31/40
Step-by-step explanation:
To add you have to have a common denominator. To get that you can multiply each fraction by one in different ways. 2/5 *8/8= 16/40 and 3/8* 5/5= 15/40 and then add those two to give you 31/40.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A is incorrect because -3.1 is rational.
B is incorrect because 1.14 repeating is rational.
C correct because everything that can be expressed as a fraction is on the left and everything that can't is on the right.
D is incorrect because pi is irrational.
Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
I think it is 640.. What they mean is every inch equals 4 feet so you would multiply 8*4 and 5*4 then you get 32 and 20.. im sure you know area but just incase its base times height so 32*20=640
