Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.

Explain how you know the quotients 540÷90 and 5,400 ÷ 900 are equal without doing any computation..
Lelechka [254]
The quotients are equal because they both go in the same number of times. The second pair of quotients just have an extra 0 at the end which just changes the place value of the number.

You bought a bag of tamales and one of your friends ate 1/5 of the entire bag and another friend ate 1/3 of the whole bag. How m
Serggg [28]

Answer:

There is 7/15 left in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you need to find a common denominator between 3 and 5 which is 15

multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 in 1/5. Then, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 in 1/3.

1/3*5=5/15

1/5*3=3/15

Add them together.

5/15+3/15=8/15

Lastly, subtract 15/15 by 8/15

15/15-8/15=7/15
