help plzzz

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

what do you need help with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The figure below shows two similar pictures that Jeremy wants to frame: http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/5005a6a2e4b062418066cfad-anash-1342547641285-image0034e4d5a26.jpg Two similar rectangles, one larger than the other. The width of the larger one is 58.5 inches. The length is not shown. The length of the smaller is 16 inches and the width is 13 inches. Jeremy has 5 strips of unfinished molding that he wants to use to frame the two pictures. Each strip is 36 inches long. Assuming there is no wastage or overlap of molding, what is the minimum length of molding, in inches, Jeremy still requires to frame both the pictures? Show your work and explain your reasoning in complete sentences.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

oh god...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol.. yea ikr

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

well what part you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all...lol i dont understand it..lol

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Alright lets try to understand the problem first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i got a few other if u dont mind helping i will give medals for all of them:)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

That's what we need to do first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok:)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Post them as different questions later. Lets do 1 at a time

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So what's happening is that "Jeremy" is trying to frame two pictures

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

What we need to figure out length of the larger one. Lets find that out first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

That's our first step. So for now lets focus on finding the length and tell me what you get. If you get confused I will try to help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 15.35

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

@willisboys13 don't give direct answers please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES MAME MISS BOSSY

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

It's in the Code of Conduct. You want to help them and explain the question, not do it for them

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

@willsgirl16 I didn't think of it. I did what you did and was told the same thing. So do not call me bossy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get off my back

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Instead @willisboys13 lets help @Write0The0Right0For0Wrong0Doing on their work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg ok calm down everyone..lol

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

@willisboys13 if you just want to argue you can do it yourself. Bye.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Damn girl u fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x }{ 58.5 }=\frac{ 16 }{ 13 }\] x=? this is length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg lol.. ok well dont focus on that right now.. lol help with this plzz and then we will talk after:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok @surjithayer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok girl what do u need

@willisboys13 please use appropriate language. Since this is hard, this should be only older kids viewing but you never know...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..ok well @surjithayer i got 72 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u confident

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me? lol well i deff worked it out right so yea:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u do the perimeter again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should not ask this ,myself masters in mathematics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perimeter of rectangle=2(l+w)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lentgthxhieghtxwithd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol..ok
