Answer:
12 trades
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call 'x' the number of trades they will do.
After each trade, the number of cards Ian has increase by 1 (he gives 1 but receives 2), and the number of cards Jason has decrease by 1 (he receives 1 but gives 2), so after x trades, the number of cards Ian has is 20 + x, and Jason has 44 - x.
To find the number of trades when they will have the same amount of cards, we have that:
20 + x = 44 - x
2x = 24
x = 12 trades
The area of a square is expressed as the length of the side to the power of two, A = s^2. We were given the area of the enlarged photo which is 256 in^2. Also, it was stated that the length of the enlarged photo is the length of the original photo plus ten inches. So, from these statements we can make an equation to solve for x which represents the length of the original photo.
A = s^2
where s = (x+10)
A = (x+10)^2 = 256
Solving for x,
x= 6 in.
The dimensions of the original photo is 6 x 6.
Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 5 X 2
Area of a rectangle = 10
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 2 X 2
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 4
Area of triangle 1= 2
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 7 X 4
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 28
Area of triangle 2= 14
Area of a rectangle + Area of triangle 1 + Area of triangle 2=
10 + 2 + 14 = 36
The answer is 169/5:8 = 5. It helps me alot it could help you to.
