Answer 2

I've already got A, B, and C done. I'm really confused on D.

Answer 3

A: 2(8.75) + 2(10.875) = 39.1/4 feet

B: 65 1/8 - 39 1/4 =65 1/8 - 39 2/8 = 25 7/8 feet

C: 25 7/8 - (6 3/4 * 2) = 12 3/8 feet

Answer 4

for d we need to solve who is correct. Is the window 50% (1/2) of the molding or 1/3?
total molding = 65 1/8
window molding = 25 7/8

Answer 5

25 7/8 of 65 1/8 =
25 7/8 * 65 1/8 = decimal / percentage
