Answer:
The new width = 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Original dimensions of the rectangular photo:
Length : width = 8 inches : 4 inches
Reduced dimensions of the rectangular photo:
Let
x = the new width
Length : width = 4 inches : x inches
Equate both dimensions to get the value of x
Length : width
8 inches : 4 inches = 4 inches : x inches
8 / 4 = 4 / x
Cross product
8 * x = 4 * 4
8x = 16
x = 16/8
x = 2 inches
The new width = 2 inches
The answer is, x-5 equals to 0. So x equals to 5. So your answer is 5.
Answer:
2400
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y+z=147
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=147
3x+3=147
3x=144
x=48
The three consecutive positive numbers are 48, 49, and 50.
48 • 50 = 2400
5: 90 can also be written as a fraction 5/90 then reduce the fraction
5/90 (5*1=5/5*18=90) so it reduces to 1/18
the ratio simplified is 1:18
