Answer:
1. new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter
2. The area will go up by a factor of 16
3. The new area is 1/9 of the original area.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. side length1 = x
side length2 = y
2x + 2y = perimeter
2(4x) + 2(4)y = new perimeter
8x + 8y = new perimeter
new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter
2. The area will go up by a factor of 16. This is because the area formula has them being multiplied together and thus it will make the area go up by that much.
3. Let the length of the rectangle be x
Let width of rectangle be y
Area of rectangle = L*W
Now Each side length of the rectangle is multiplied by 1/3
So, new area = (1/3)L * (1/3)W
=(1/9)LW
So, the new area is 1/9 of the original area.
Answer: 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Florida has 2.8865 million acres of cropland .
Explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of acres of cropland Alabama has = 2.51 millions
According to question, we have Florida has about 1.15 times as much cropland as Alabama has ,
So,
Length of acres of cropland Florida has is given by

So, Florida has 2.8865 million acres of cropland .
To make a fraction into simplest form you have to find the greatest common factor. In this case it is 5. So then you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 5.
15÷5=3
100÷5=20
There is no factors that go into both 3 and 20 so simplest form is 3/20.
