Explain how you would model 5 x 2/3

1. set up the problem5 x 2/3
2. put a 1 on 5 to make it a fraction5/1 x 2/3
3. multiply and divide(5 x 2) / (1/3)
4. find out the answer10/3
5. turn the answer into a mixed fraction10 divided by 3= 3.1 3 stays the same you don't need to say 1
6. it equals3 1/3
7. so the answer is3 1/3

I would take 5 rectangles and divide it in to 3 equal pieces. Then I would shade in two of the pieces in each rectangle. 

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12

No he does not because he can only cover 12 square feet from 15 square feet which he will still need 3 more. this is because if 3×5=15 square feet and 15-12=3 which thats the answer
