Answer: 5.5 inches, 3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Barry wants to make a drawing i.e. half the size of original
The length and width of the original drawing are 11 inches and 7 inches respectively.
So, the intended drawing is obtained by multiplying the original dimensions by 
The length of barry's drawing is
The breadth of barry's drawing
Answer:
The symbols that we will use are:
a > b (a is larger than b)
a < b (a is smaller than b)
a ≥ b (a is larger than or equal to b)
a ≤ b (a is smaller than or equal to b).
1) if x represents the inches of snow, we have:
"More than 4 inches" means that x must be strictly larger than 4 inches, this can be written as:
x > 4 inches.
2) "less than 25 inches" means that x must be strictly smaller than 25 inches, this can be written as:
x < 25 inches.
3) If T represents the temperature
"No more than 8°F" means that the temperature can be smaller than 8°F, or equal to 8°F, then we can write this situation with:
T ≤ 8°F
4) "At least 7°F" means that the temperature can be 7°F or more than that, then we can write this situation as:
T ≥ 7°F
x^2 = 16/100
We must solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.
But imagine x^2 = 9. x = 3 is a solution because 3^2 = 9. But x = -3 is also a solution because (-3)^2 = 9. So we need to add the plus and minus sign to account for all of our solutions.
√x^2 = √(16/100)
We square root both sides to remove the exponent 2 on x. Then
x = ±√(16/100)
Then we have to use a Property of Radicals which is √(x/y) = √(x) / √(y).
Then the square root of 16 is 4 and the square root of 100 is 10. 4/10 is 2/5 simplified.
