sammy is laying brick in his front walkway. the rectangular path measures 3/5 of a foot by 4/9 of a foot. what is the area of space that will be covered with bricks?
12/45
if you dont know dont say ANYTHING YALL MAKE ME ANGRY
Do you know how to multiply fractions and simplify? 3/5 times 4/9 should equal 4/15 after you reduce 12/45 to lowest terms.
Or if you saw the 3 and the 9 on the same diagonal at the beginning, you could have picked out the 3's ahead of time. . .
Huh?
12/45 area of space that will be covered with bricks. 😁
Sammy is laying brick in his front walkway. The rectangular path measures 35 feet by 49 feet. What is the area of space that will be covered with bricks?
To find the area of the rectangular path, you can multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length of the path is 3/5 of a foot, and the width is 4/9 of a foot.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, the area can be calculated as follows:
Area = (3/5) * (4/9)
Multiplying the numerators (3 * 4) gives us 12, and multiplying the denominators (5 * 9) gives us 45. Therefore:
Area = 12/45
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
Area = (12/3) / (45/3)
Area = 4/15
So, the area of space that will be covered with bricks is 4/15 square feet.
