you could either multiply straight away or you could simplify right then so that you wouldn't have to it later.
20/5 * 5/2
your answer would be 10 either way
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
B.
You would first have to add 9 to each side so that the equation equaled 0. Then you could pull these numbers.
Your answer is ..
First,
we have to turn our mixed fractions into an improper fraction.
=4 1/8 which is 33/8(4 x 8 + 1).
Our next mixed fraction,
we have 1 1/7 which is 8/7(1 x 7 + 1).
Now, we have the get the same denominator in order to subtract.
SO, both 8 and 7 goes in to 56. So we multiply both mixed fractions to get the same denominator.
(Tip: what ever you do to do numerator, you do to the denominator; and the other way around).
33/8 : 33*7=231 and our denominator, 8*7=56
So our improper fraction now,
231/56
Our next fraction 8/7,
7*8= 56 and our numerator 8*8=64.
=64/56
So, now we subtract.
231-64= 167 and our common denominator. 167/56
Now we divide 167 by 56 which is 2 and remainder is 55.
So, you should end up with a mixed fraction, 2 55/56.
The perimeter would have to be 30.2 for each side of the fence
