Last year there was 450 students in a soccer league. This year, participation increased by 64%. How many more children joined the league this year?

450 + 64% = 738.

738 - 450 = 288

or

64% x 450 = 288

288 more children joined the league this year than last year.

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
