It would be .5x-5= because it says 5 less so it would be subtract 5 from half of x.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the 45% of the population of a city are men and 15% are children . The number of women is 64,400 . And we need to find the number of children . Here , 
 
 
So the percentage of women will be equal to [ 100 - ( 45 -15) ]% = [ 100 - 60 ]% = 40% . 
So let us take the total number of people be x . So , 

 
 

<u>The </u><u>percentage</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>children </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u>%</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

 
        
             
        
        
        
Let's start with what we know:
Smaller canvas:
Length (

) = 3ft
Width (

) = 5ft
Larger canvas:
Length (

) = ?
Width (

) = 10ft
Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

So let's plug it all in from above:

Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:


Now divide each side by 5 to isolate 


The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

So the length of the larger canvas is
 6 ft
