Will give brainliest! 1. Each student in a pottery class is responsible for cleaning the area around his or her workspace at the end of the lesson. Each student's area is approximately . There are 13 students in the class. Assuming that each student cleans his or her area, how many square feet in total is cleaned? Solve the problem by each of these methods.
(a) Method 1: Convert the fraction to an improper fraction and multiply.
(b) Method 2: Use addition to rewrite the fraction, and multiply using the distributive property.

Using Method 1, convert 4 1/2 into an improper fraction.

4 1/2 as an improper fraction is 9/2.

9/2 * 13 = 117/2

I honestly don't know how to use distributive property because it's something I never used in school and still don't. I'm sorry!

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
