Set up an equality with proportional relations:

x/10.5=3/5  multiply both sides by 10.5

x=31.5/5

x=6.3

So for a 3 by 5 to be enlarged to where one side is 10.5, it must have been multiplied by 2.1 or it won't fit onto the new paper. So you multiply the other number, 3, by 2.1 and get the answer 6.3

Two cylinders. The smaller cylinder has height labeled as 6 cm. The larger cylinder has height labeled as 18 cm.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the height of the smaller cylinder is 6 cm and the height of the larger cylinder is 18 cm, then you can find the volume ratio. This  is:

Volume\ ratio=(\frac{6cm}{18cm})^3\\\\Volume\ ratio=\frac{1}{27}

Knowing that the volume of the larger cylinder is 40,635 cubic centimeters, you need to multiply it  by the volume ratio to find the volume of the smaller cylinder.

Therefore:

V_{smaller}=\frac{1}{27}(40,635\ cm^3)\\\\V_{smaller}=1,505\ cm^3

When it was discovered, nobody knew how to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Because the inscriptions say the same thing in three different scripts, and scholars could still read Ancient Greek, the Rosetta Stone became a valuable key to deciphering the hieroglyphs!!

Write a real-world problem that could be represented by the expression 3(23). Then explain how you could solve the problem menta
Natalija [7]
3(23) really means 3*23, or just 3 multiplied by 23.  For example: "Jana has 23 dollars.  Her friend John has $23, and his friend Jacob also has 23 dollars.  How much money do they have all together?"  To solve this problem mentally, you could break 3*23 into two numbers you're familiar with multiplying, like 20 and 3, and then add the numbers together.  For example: 3*20 + 3*3.  3*20=60, 3*3=9, and 60+9=69.  So, 3*23=69.
