Which shape has a larger area: a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inch, or a square with side length of 2 1/2 inches? show your reasoning and how do you show your work.

6(h+1)/2=a

a=area

step-by-step explanation:

its the same thing as a square or rectangle but after multiplying two sides you need to divide it by two.

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

it is impossible.
