A 2ft-by-2ft square is divided into smaller squares and portions are shaded. What is the area of the shaded portion?

1.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length is divided into 4 parts,

Length of a small square = 2/4

= 0.5 ft

Hence,

Area of 1 small square = (0.5)(0.5)

= 0.25 ft^2

Area of shaded portion = Area of 6 small squares

= 6(0.25)

= 1.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

51

step-by-step explanation:

73-22=51 the   mass number minus the amount of protons gives you the amount of neutrons

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
