4) -0.3 = -1/3 < -1/7 since the bigger a negative number is the less positive it is. 1/8 is positive so it is clear that it should be placed last. & thus do all options this way.
5) B
Area of a triangle = ½ bh.
where b = base &
h = height.
Area of outer shape = (½ x 16 x 12) in^2.
= 96 in^2.
Area of unshaded inner shape = (½ x 3 x 4) in^2.
= 6 in^2.
Area of shaded region = (96 – 6) in^2.
= 90 in^2.
