Answer:
1 in = 2.54 cm
Part (a)
Answer: 8.268 in
Part (b)
Answer: 11.693 in
Part (c)
In SI units standard-sized paper is 21.0 cm by 29.7 cm, which is equivalent to 8.268 in by 11.693 in.
Answer: 8.268 in by 11.693 in.
Part (d)
U.S sized standard paper is 8.0 in by 11.0 in. Therefore the SI (internationally) sized paper is longer.
Part (e)
If the U.S> adopts the SI standard for letter-sized paper, both the width and length of standard paper will have to be increased. Therefore letter-sized paper will occupy a larger area and will be heavier if the thickness and density do not change.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use f and m for "female" and "male." Then f = m + 16, and f + m = d (total)
So now we have the system of linear equations
f = m + 16
f + m = d
We can eliminate f by subst. m + 16 for f in the second equation:
d-16
m + 16 + m = d, or 2m + 16 = d. Find m. 2m = d - 16, so that m = --------

Assuming that the male horses are either brown or black, and that 25% of these are brown, then the rest must be black. This number is
d-16

Given:
limit of $36 and 20 pounds of food in his back pack
pasta : 1 pound package @ $1
pasta sauce: 1.5 pound jar @ $3
x = number of pasta package
y = number of jar of pasta sauce
Constraint on the weight:
x + 1.5y <u><</u> 20
Constraint on the cost of purchase.
x + 3y <u><</u> 36
