Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2
11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8
OR You could use decimals
2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8
The area of a rectangle is equal L x W
4 cm longer than it is wide L = 4 + <span>W
</span>
L x W = 117 we replace L here
(4 + <span>W ) x W = 117
</span>
4W + W ^2 = 117
<span>4W + W ^2 -117 = 0
</span>W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0
W² + 4W - 117 = 0
<span>
THEN u want to use the </span>use the quadratic formula
OR Factoring gives us
(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0
W = -13 or 9
But it can't be negative, so
W = 9 and L= 9+4 = 13
Alice should pick the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In order for a part of the photo to not be cut off, the enlarged photo's dimensions should be of a constant ratio with the original photo's dimensions.
We divide the dimensions of the enlarged-photo with the dimensions of the original photo to check which has a constant ratio.
Step 2:
The original photo was a 4-inch by 5-inch photo.
Option 1 is 7-inch by 9-inch, so the ratios are
The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.
Option 2 is 8-inch by 10-inch, so the ratios are
The ratios are the same so this can be the enlarged photo's dimensions.
Option 3 is 12-inch by 16-inch, so the ratios are
The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.
So the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch should be picked.
A. 2x3=6 and 6x12=72 so 78 is greater than 36
6+72=79 which is less than 90
