To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40
Answer: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
if the bookstore has 64 copies,
yesterday it was sold 1/4 , so it was sold 64/4=16
today it was sold 1/8 from what remained, which is 6(see below)
64-16=48
48/8=6
the store has left 48-6=42
Answer:
