Answer: A. x= 5"
Step-by-step explanation:
ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/7" = 8.5"/x
x = 7" x 8.5"/11" = 59.5"/11 = 5.409 ≅ 5.41"
If we wanted to keep most of the engraving, we would adjust the larger dimension, but we have been asked to adjust one dimension to 5", since it is said that C. x = 5.41 is incorrect
Then we will adjust the minor dimension to 5"
ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/y = 8.5"/5"
y= 11" x 5"/8.5" = 6.47"
Then new dimensions of the paper are 6.47" x 5" to fit an 7" x 5" frame
Answer: A. x= 5"
If you follow the money, there was quite a bit to made if a shorter passage was found to China. The trips around the Horn and around South America were difficult and many ships were lost
I've uploaded a photo with the answer because it's too hard to do this out on the computer.
If you are looking for the fraction of total income spent, the answer would be 7/8.
3/8, 2/5, 1/10
Make them similar fractions, use LCD (in this case, 40)
They become
15/40, 16/40, 4/40
Add
15/40 + 16/40 + 4/40
= 35/40, or, simplified, 7/8

Answer:
32 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72
Equation:
2x + 8 = 72
2x = 64
x = 32
So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.
Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40
