What is the solution to the equation 5=2/5a
a.2
b.4 3/5
c.12 1/2
d.25

C.12 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5=2/5a

Multiply each side by 5/2 to isolate a

5/2 * 5 = 5/2 * 2/5 a

25/2 = a

12 1/2 = a

40 is the final : )

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
