Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)
The Answer should be Circle , Square
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, 12/12=1, which I guess is the smallest number we can get, and 12 is divisible by 2 too.
Answer:
314 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First symmetrically cut the pentagon to get 5 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 5 triangles)
Then find the area of one of the triangles:
Area of Triangle = 
A = 
× 4 × 10
A = 20 m²
To find the area of the whole pentagon shape:
A = 20 × 5 = 100 m²
