Can someone ? (year 9 math) this question is on fractions. see picture attached (ex. 2a and b) show method of working.

for 2a, use the theorems of geometry and such to look at the area of the square as 16 squares total, then use the lengths and Sim/cos rule for the triangular area, then subtract and you have you shaded area.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
