A wall in Marcus's bedroom is 8 2/5 feet high and 18 1/3 feet long. If he paints 1/2 of the wall blue, how many square feet will be blue?

Im not that good with division but i think 5 is -6but dont quote me on thatim not the best in division but thats my answer

1) add 6 to 24, write the rest of the equation 10-2x= 30 subtract 10 from 30 2x=20 divide 20 by 2 and x=102) add 3 to -9 write the rest of the equation 4x+3=-6 subtract 3 from -6 4x=-9 x= -2.25  i don't know the rest sorry
