The rectangle shown is composed of smaller equally-sized squares. The shaded section has an area of 3/16 square inches. Use a unit rate to determine the area of the larger rectangle.

Area of larger rectangle = 1½ = 1.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The section consists of 3 small squares that has an area = .

Area of 3 small squares =

Area of 1 small square = ÷ 3

=

=

The larger rectangle has 24 small squares of equal sizes

Area of larger rectangle = area of 1 small square * 24

=

Area of larger rectangle = 1½ = 1.5 in²

what do u need to know

step-by-step explanation:

hi there

the slope is 1/3.

this is because from the y-intercept, you go up one, and you go to the right three, to get to the next exact point on the graph. this is known at the “rise over run.”

p.s. (if you need it).your y-intercept is -2, because that is the point on the graph where the line crosses the y-axis.

hope that : )
