2. (15 points) Shelly has a photo that is 7 1/3 inches tall. She wants to shrink it down to fit in a picture frame that is only

5 1/3 inches tall. The photo shop can only reduce photos by certain fractions. They can reduce it to 2/3 the original size, 3/4 the original size, or 5/9 the original size.
A. Which reduction should she use so the picture fills as much of the frame as possible, without being too large?

B. How much extra space is there in the frame when she uses the reduction from Part A?

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?

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

1. Taylor needs to purchase a car. The car Taylor plans to purchase costs $10,000. Taylor has saved $2,000 to use as a down paym
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a. The amount Taylor will need to finance is $8,000

b. The amount Taylor pays as interest in one year is $400

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the financing for the car are;

The cost of the car Taylor plans to purchase, C = $10,000

The amount Taylor has saved to be used as down payment, S = $2,000

The interest rate of the credit Taylor is offered = 5%

The duration given for repayment of the loan = 5 years

a. To purchase the car, the amount Taylor will need to finance, 'P', is given as follows;

P = C - S

∴ P = $10,000 - $2,000 = $8,000

b. The amount of interest on the loan in one year, 'I', is given by the following formula;

I = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Where;

I = The interest payed

P = The principal amount taken as loan = $8,000

R = The interest rate = 5% APR

T = The time period the interest is applied = 1 year

Plugging in the values, we get;

I = \dfrac{\$ \, 8,000 \times 5 \times 1}{100} = \$ \, 400

The interest Taylor will pay on the loan in one year, I = $4,00
