Answer:

Solution,

$\frac{17}{13} = \frac{9}{u}$

Sinplify the equation using cross multiplication

$17 \times u = 13 \times 9$

Calculate the product

$17u = 117$

Divide both sides of the equation by 17

$\frac{17u}{17} = \frac{117}{17}$

Calculate

$u = 6.88$

A rectangle has an area of 1/6 square centimeters and a length of 1.5 centimeters. what is the width? what is the perimeter?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The area of a rectangle can be calculated by the product of its length and the width. Here we are given the area and the length so we can simply calculate for width. The perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths of the shape. We calculate as follows:

Area = lxw
1/6 = 1.5w
w = 1/9

Perimeter = 2l + 2w
Perimeter = 5/9

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A. 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm

B. 27 cm by 45 cm

C. 9 cm by 15 cm

D. 30 cm by 50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the original painting = 12 cm by 20 cm painting

Hence, the proportion is:

12/20 = 0.6

Hence, we compare the options given in the question.

A. 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm

= 1.5/2.5 = 0.6 , option A is correct

B. 27 cm by 45 cm

27cm/45 cm = 0.6 Option B is correct

C. 9 cm by 15 cm

9cm/15cm = 0.6 , Option C is correct

D. 30 cm by 50 cm

30 cm /50 cm = 0.6 Option D is correct

E. 6 cm by 14 cm

6cm/14 cm = 0.4285714286

Option E is not correct

Therefore, Options A to D are the correct options

Using scientific notation, the correct statement is given by:

C. Corporation C owns the most land. Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B.

<h3>What is scientific notation?</h3>

A number in scientific notation is given by:

$a \times 10^b$

With the base being $a \in [1, 10)$ .

Considering the amounts in scientific notation, the standard amounts in acres of each corporation are given as follows:

Corporation A: $3.2 \times 10^5 = 320000 = 320,000$ .

Corporation B: $4 \times 10^4 = 40000 = 40,000$ .

Corporation C: $4.3 \times 10^5 = 430000 = 430,000$ .

Hence corporation C owns the most land. 320,000/40,000 = 8, hence Corporation A owns 8 times more land than corporation B, and statement C is correct.
