Answer:
1 9/16 square feet or 1.5625 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is Length x Width
First convert 2 1/2 into a number that is just a fraction.
2 = 4/2 so 4/2 + 1/2 = 5/2
Now you can multiply the two fractions to find the area.
area = 5 5 25
-- x -- = -----
8 2 16
To simplify this, you know 16/16 = 1 so subtract 16 from the numerator which leaves 9/16
Your answer will be 1 and 9/16
Separate the pieces
(7x1) +(5x1)+(7x1)
7+5+7= 19
19m is your answer
All you have to do is try both of the equations by filling in the variables with the choices.
-5 > -3 (2) + 3
-5 > -5 + 3
-5 > -2
-5 > (2) + 2
-5 > 4
So, this does not work.
--------------------------------------------
5 > -3 (-2) + 3
5 > 5 + 3
5 > 8
5 > (-2) + 2
5 > 0
So, this does not work.
-------------------------------------------
5 > -3 (2) + 3
5 > -5 + 3
5 > -2
5 > 2 + 2
5 > 4
So, this works.
-----------------------------
-5 > -3 (-2) + 3
-5 > 5 + 3
-5 > 8
-5 > (-2) + 2
-5 > 0
So, this does not work.
The answer would be C.
I hope this helps!
