A. Which reduction should she use so the picture fills as much of the frame as possible, without being too large?
Find the scale factor to get rom 7 1/3 inches to 5 1/3 inches:
5 1/3 / 7 1/3 = 0.7272
Now rewrite the fraction as decimals:
2/3 = 0.667
¾ = 0.75
5/9 = 0.555
The closest scale that would still fit the frame would be 2/3 because it is under 0.727.
B. How much extra space is there in the frame when she uses the reduction from Part A?
Multiply the original size by the scale factor to use:
7 1/3 x 2/3 = 4 8/9
Now subtract the scaled size from the original size:
7 1/3 – 4 8/9 = 2 4/9 inches extra
C. If she had a machine that could reduce by any amount, so that she could make the reduced picture fit in the frame exactly, what fraction would the reduction be?
Convert the scale from part A to a fraction:
0.72 = 72/99 which reduces to 8/11
Answer:
why should anyone care about a school bus
Step-by-step explanation:
It would take 70,000 seeds if five out of seven are good. So over a quantity of 50,000 plants desired, you would sow 70,000 seeds. As 20,000 would statistically fail.
Answer:
5/12
7/12
125/36 = 3,47%
50/11 = 4,54%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability a black sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock = 5/12
Probability a white or brown sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock =
7/12
Probability a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are replace = (4/12 * 5/12 * 3/12)*100 =125/36 = 3,47%
Pobability a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are NOT replace = (4/12 * 5/11 * 3/ 10)*100 = 50/11 = 4,54%
