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.

4a-b<br> Evaluate the expression when a=5 and b=-7
stepladder [879]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to plug in 5 as the variable a and -7 as the variable b

4(5)-(-7)

Next we multiply the 4 and the 5 together to get 20

4(5) = 20   or    4 x 5 = 20

20-(-7)

Now we subtract negative 7 from 20

20-(-7) = 27

This can also be written as 20 plus 7 as a mathematical rule states: two negatives make a positive. So:

20-(-7) = 20 + 7

Both of these are equivalent in every sense of the word and give us our final answer of 27
