hi!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
first we have to add \(12\tfrac{1}{4}+6\tfrac{1}{3}\) what do you get?

18 2/7
OpenStudy (misty1212):
hmmm no
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\(12+6=18\) that part is right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
;-; idk
OpenStudy (misty1212):
but
\[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\neq \frac{2}{7}\]that is now how you add fractions, top and bottom like you did

Hmm I helped with this last problem
The perimeter is the distance around the shape, and to find the missing side, you must add the two sides together, then subtract it from the perimeter. That is your missing side, so
32 - (12 1/4 + 6 1/3) = x
