This isn't really a geometry problem. It's just an addition of fractions.
You know that 'perimeter' means 'the distance all the way around'.
And you know the length of all the sides of the parallelogram.
All you need to do is add them up !
(13/12) + (3/13) + (13/12) + (3/13) = the perimeter
Notice that two of the sides are equal, and the other two sides are also equal.
So you can make the job a little easier if you add up the twelfths first
(13/12) + (13/12) = 26/12
and then add up the thirteenths ...
(3/13) + (3/13) = 6/13 .
Now, the perimeter looks a little bit less complicated.
It's just
(26/12) + (6/13) = the perimeter.
This is the tough part. Before you can add fractions, they need to have
a common denominator.
The smallest common denominator for 12ths and 13ths is <em>156 </em>!
Change each fraction to (<em>something over 156</em>), and add um up.
I'll leave that part to you.
Answer/Step-by-step Explanation:
Given:
a = no. of DVDs
b = no. of CDs
Total cost ($) for DVDs and CDs =
a. The cost for 1 DVD = 2.5(a) = 2.5(1) = $2.5
The cost for 1 CD = 2(b) = 2(1) = $2
b. Total cost for 4 DVDs and 4 CDs:
Substitute a = 4, and b = 4 into the equation.
Total cost for 4 DVDs and 4 CDs = $18
c. To find out if $20 would be enough to buy 6 DVDs and 3 CDs, substitute a = 6, and b = 3 into the equation. Solve for the total cost to see if it equals $20 or is less than $20. If it's greater than $20, then it won't be enough.
6 DVDs and 3 CDs cost more than $20, therefore, $20 is not enough.

x = 6; 6 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!!
Okay, so here is the equation needed to solve:
85.00 = 25.00 + 12.00x
Subtract 25 from both sides
85 -25 = 25 - 25 + 12x
Then, you get:
55 = 12x
Divide 55 by 12
55/12 =x
so x = 6
Hope this helps!
