Solving Measurement Problem
I see there are two separate problems labeled b) and d) in the provided image.
Let's solve problem d), since it's the one without a completed answer:
6 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in.
First, convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
6 1/2 in = (6*2 + 1) / 2 = 13/2 in
2 1/2 in = (2*2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2 in
Now multiply the improper fractions:
(13/2) * (5/2) = 65/4
This result is still an improper fraction, and it needs to be converted back into a mixed number. To convert it, divide 65 by 4:
65 ÷ 4 = 16 with a remainder of 1. This gives us:
16 1/4 inches.
So, the solution to problem d) is:
6 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in. = 16 1/4 in.
