Answer:

No, does not form a proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The length of boat was 6 ft long and 2 1/2 ft wide.

Note: 2 1/2 = 2.5

The dimensions were too small so boat maker wants to add 2 ft to both the length and width but also wants to keep the canoe the same shape.

To be the same shape the ratio should form a proportion if you add 2 ft to both the length and width.

Add 2 in length and width.

New length 6+2= 8

New width 2.5 + 2 = 4.5

Now compare the ratio as shown:

\frac{6}{2.5}=\frac{8}{4.5}\\\\ 2.4=1.778

Which is not true

Hence, it will not work because it does not form a proportion.

The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5    with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5    with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8

Find the increase in price of a single piece of design, when crafts design price is increased by 45% which makes a buyer to buy
Volgvan

Answer: Original price = $43.10, Increase = $19.40, Final price = $62.50

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the original price, then

8x(1.45) < $500

x

x < $43.10

Increase is 0.45x

0.45($43.10)

= $19.40

Final price is Original + Increase

$43.10 + $19.40

= $62.50

Find the values of x and y
vitfil [10]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{y = 12, x = 3}

The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:

OL/UR = NM/TS

9/3 = 6/2

3 = 3

Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:

RS = 4, LM = y

3RS = LM

3 · 4 = y = 12.

Find x using the same method:

3UT = ON

3(2x+1) = 4x + 9

6x + 3 = 4x + 9

2x = 6

x = 3.

No is divisible by 7 if n is divided by 2 3 4 5 the remainder is 1 what is the smallest value that n could b
kvv77 [185]

Answer: 301

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The LCM of numbers given numbers 2 ,3,  4 and 5 is 60.

Thus, the number that gives 1 as reminder and is the multiple of 7 is  60 n + 1

Where n is any positive integer,

Since, For n = 5,

The number is, 60\times 5 + 1 = 300 + 1 = 301

Which is divisible by 7.

Thus, the required number is 301.

Note : For n = 1, 2 3 and 4, numbers are 61, 121, 181 and 241

But they are not the multiple of 7.
