What is the largest flag jake can draw

1 answer:

5 0

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.

boyakko [2]

120 + 0.40m = 50 + 0.50m
120 - 50 = 0.50m - 0.40m
70 = 0.10m
70/0.10 = m
700 = m....they will be the same at 700 miles

To find in how many ways this can be done, we can use the method of combination.

As the customer have to choose 2 out of 3 appetizers, the combination would be 3C2.

For 4 out of 5 main courses, the combination wouls be 5C4.

For 6 out of 8 desserts, the combination would be 8C6.

We can then combine them into a single equation to find the answer:

3C2 x 5C4 x 8C6
=420

Therefore, the answer is 420 ways.

Hope it helps!
