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"
