The ratio of length to width is 3/2.  Let's set up equations of ratios using first the 25 cm length of the paper and then the 20 cm width:

 3      25 cm
--- = ----------
 2           x

Solving for x, 3x = 50 cm, and x =16 2/3 cm.  This is possible, since 16 2/3 is less than the paper width 20 cm.

 3       20 cm
--- = -----------
 2         x

Solving for x:  3x = 40 cm; x = 40/3 cm, or  x= 13 1/3 cm.  This is possible, but does not make maximum use of the 20 by 30 cm paper.

Answer:  the largest flag Jake can draw on the paper given is 20 cm (length) by 16 2/3 cm.

Tamiku [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A and Point B are 5 units apart on the x-axis.

Since this is a rectangle, the opposite side is equivalent.

Point A and Point C are 3 units apart on the y-axis.

Same thing applies for these points.

5+5+3+3=16 units

The population of a colony of beetles grows 30% each week. If the initial population is 65 beetles, how many beetles will be the
Crazy boy [7]
This is question of geometric sequence, equation of growth for this matter. The explicit formula for geometric sequence is given by:

a(n) = a(0)r^(n-1)

where;
a(n) = population after time "n"
a(0) = Initial population = 65
n = time = 5 weeks
r = common ratio = (100+30)% = 1.3

Substituting, beetles after 5 weeks will be;
a(5) = 65*1.3^(5-1) = 185.65 ≈ 186 beetles
