Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator. So ...

The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56

3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56

7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46

So you need a number that is between 49 and 24

There is only one 27 / 56

What is the surface area?

Alina [70]

The top is 4ft by 2 ft, area = 4 * 2=8 square feet.

The back is 1 1/2 ft by 4 feet, area = 1.5 *4 = 6 square feet.

The bottom equals the top = 8 square feet.

The front equals the back = 6 square feet.

The left side is 1 1/2 ft by 2 ft = 2 * 1.5 = 3 square feet.

The right side equals the left side = 3 square feet.

Total area = 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 34 square feet

Please do this for me <br><br> I am very lazy

First, let's turn all the numbers into improper fractions so that we can find the answer easier.

-2 $\frac{1}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

- $\frac{9}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

Now we have to isolate 'r'.

First, we have to make sure that the variable is on one side and all the numbers are on the other side.

To do this, we have to add $\frac{4}{5}$ to both sides.

In order to do this, we need to ensure that both fractions have a common denominator.

- $\frac{9}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

Ensure that the denominators are the same:

$\frac{45}{20}$ = r - $\frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{45}{20}$ + $\frac{16}{20}$ = r

$\frac{61}{20}$ = r

Good luck!
