Answer:

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.

Area = Length x width

So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.

So we have

              \texttt{Area after n folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{\texttt{number of folds}}}

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²

Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is

Number of folds = 2

\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{2}}\\\\\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{93.5}{4}=23.375inch^2

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Help please it is due today
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Jane's situation is the one which represents a porportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify the proportionality betwen a ratio you have to divide all the ratios and all them have to get the same constant factor.

So, if you divide the matt's ratios you aren't gonna find the same constant factor

12/1=12

20/2=10

31/2=15,5

But if you try with Jane's ones:

12/1=12

24/2=12

36/3=12

This 12 is the known constant factor, which show us that these ratios are proportional.
