A compound fraction is simplified by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction. This process is repeated as often as necessary at every level of the fraction.
Examples:
(a/b)/(c/d) = (ad)/(bc)
a/(b/c) = (ac)/b
(a/b)/c = a/(bc)

When the fraction has numerators or denominators that are fractions, you need to be very clear about what is being divided by what. If it isn't clear by the typesetting (length or boldness of fraction bars), then parentheses are required around numerators and around denominators.
let's say the two numbers are x and x + 9. so we know x + x + 9 = 21, so 2x + 9 = 21. subtract 9 from both dies to get 12 = 2x. divide both sides by 2 to get x = 6. so your two numbers are 6 and 15.

Answer:
13 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagora's theorem to solve for the hypotenuse of the triangle:
Where a and b are the two shorter legs, and c is the hypotenuse.
Replace the values in and solve for c:
325 divided by area 21 2/3. always area divided by length
