Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.
Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3
3/5 = x/3
cross multiply
3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)
3(3) = x(5)
9 = 5x
Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides
9/5 = 5x/5
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
1.8 in. is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
I think it is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Forgive me if I am wrong the reason I think so is I did one like this last week. Sorry if it is wrong trying to remember.
It would be 16.5 inches long.
First you have to divide 11 by 8 (1.375) to get how long would the letter be if it was 1 inch wide. Then multiply 1.375 by 12 which is 16.5.
Answer:
B) always less than either of the original fractions
Step-by-step explanation:
We can easily Answer this by taking some values.
The question states that the two fractions, each have values between 0 and 1.
Let us say one of the fraction is 1/2 and the other fraction is 1/3 .
The product of the two fractions is 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 .
is lesser than both 1/2 and 1/3 .
So, the correct answer is that the product is always less than either of the original fractions.
