How to get 1/2x 2 1/2??

1.25 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are multiplying a fraction by a mixed number so you have to turn the mixed number into an improper fraction.

2 1/2 -- to do this you have to multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator.

2*2= 4   4+1=5

2 1/2 = 5/2

Then, you multiply normally

1/2 x 5/2 = 5/4

5/4= 1 1/4

So, you answer would be 1 1/4

Hope this helps!!

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
