Answer:

13.9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to answer this.  Folding the paper along its diagonal produces two triangles; each one has shorter side 8.5 in and longer side 11 in.  According to the Pyth. Thm., (8.5)^2 + 11^2 = 193.25, which results in the diagonal length √193.25, or approx. 13.9 in.

A 3” x 5” photo is enlarged so that the length of the new photo is 7 inches. Find the width of the new photo.. a. 4.20 inches. c
Andrej [43]
As far as the old dimensions of the photo are concerned,
Width of the photo = 3"
Length of the photo = 5"
New length of the photo = 7 inches
Let us assume the new width of the photo = x inches
Then
3/5 = x/7
5x = 7 * 3
5x = 21
x = 21/5
   = 4.20 inches
So the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option. I hope that the answer has come to your help.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in the deck

4 are aces

That leaves 52-4  or 48 that are not aces

P(not an aces) = cards that are not aces / total

                       =12/13

10 < 0.25 ( x + 1 ) < 11
AURORKA [14]
10 <0.25 (x + 1) <11
 
We must solve two inequalities in this case.
 Inequality 1:
 
10 <0.25 (x + 1)
 10 / 0.25 <x + 1
 40 <x + 1
 40-1 <x
 39 <x
 Inequality 2:
 
0.25 (x + 1) <11
 (x + 1) <11 / 0.25
 (x + 1) <44
 x <44-1
 x <43
 The final result is:
 39 <x <43
 Answer:
 
39 <x <43

What percent of 20 is 16?!!!<br><br>What's the answer and how do I work the problem out?!!
-Dominant- [34]

<span>16/20 is 80%.</span>

You find out by multiplying the denominator: 20 * 5 = 100

Then, you do the same to the numerator which is: 16 * 5 = x

So, x = 80%

Hope this helps! :D
