We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?

We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2

20 : 30 = 5 : x

We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)

20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm

eric can spend a maximum of $270 on office supplies. Each rem of paper costs $6. Each ink catridge costs $18. Which of the follo
Vladimir [108]
If we say A = ream of paper and B = cost of ink than we can set-up an expression to calculate when A is equal to a number what the number of B will be. Maximim of 270$ so anything we buy must be equal to this. Ream of paper cost 6$ each so 6A represents the number of reams bought since we said A is number of reams of paper. Ink Cartridges are 18$ each so 18B would represent this based on B = to cost of ink. Now setting up our equation 6A + 18B = 270 When A = 1 B = 14.67 Ink Cartridges When A = 1 Ream ofpaper

Greeley [361]

Answer:

12\dfrac{1}{8}\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Sonya drops a marble while standing on a deck 7 \dfrac{7}{8} feet above the ground.

The marble falls 4 \dfrac{1}{4} feet from Sonya's hand to the deck, and then rolls and falls to the ground.

So, the ball falls 4 \dfrac{1}{4} feet from Sonya's hand to the deck  and 7 \dfrac{7}{8} from the deck to the ground, in total

4\dfrac{1}{4}+7\dfrac{7}{8}=4\dfrac{2}{8}+7\dfrac{7}{8}=(4+7)+\dfrac{2+7}{8}=11+\dfrac{9}{8}=11+1\dfrac{1}{8}=12\dfrac{1}{8}\ feet
