It is neccesary because you cannot subtract them without having a common denominator so you have to rename 4 1/2
Answer:
The area of the clock 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the face of the clock that is 
So that is also the circumference of the clock.
Since the clock is circular in shape.
So 
From here we will calculate the value of radius
of the clock that is circular in shape.
Then 
Now to find the area of the clock we will put this value of (r) in the equation of area of the circle.
Now 
So the area of the face of the clock =
Answer:
y = 5, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve proportions you cross-multiply.

Now that we have 8 = y^2 - y - 12, we must make the entire trinomial equal to 0 by subtracting 8 from both sides.
y^2 - y - 20 = 0
Factor the trinomial.
(y - 5)(y + 4) = 0
Make both factors equal to 0 to solve for both values of y.
- y - 5 = 0 --> y = 5
- y + 4 = 0 --> y = -4
y = 5, -4
You can use a common denominator and rewrite 3/5 divided by 1/10 as 6/10 divided by 1/10.
Than you can think, “How many ___s are in ___? (Sorry, i don’t know this part)
3/5 divided 1/10 is 6
for example lets use 3^2 + 4^2, you add the main numbers, 3 and 4 to get 7, then there are still the exponents, the squared signs, they don't change, they stay as a two. If your problem required a single whole number, then you have to square the 7, 7*7 is 49, so that or 7^2 would be your final answer.
