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.

Solve for y 2x-5y=10
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y = 2/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 5y = 10

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Subtract 2x on both sides: -5y = 10 - 2x
  2. Divide both sides by -5: y = -2 + 2/5x
  3. Rewrite: y = 2/5x - 2

Math homework please help new subject dont know it. (trolls = report)
Natasha2012 [34]
Find area on triangle:
A=(1/2)bh
A=(1/2)(8 units)(6 units)
A=(1/2)(48 units^2)
A=24 units^2
Just do the same for the rest of this page following the equation for the area of a triangle A=(1/2)(base)(height)

Find the error:
A=(1/2)bh
100m^2=(1/2)b(20m)
100m^2=(10m)b
10m=b
He forgot to multiply bh by 1/2

Area of parallelogram:
A=bh
A=(3 units)(3 units)
A= 9 units^2
The red line is the height and the bottom of the parallelogram is the base, just count the squares. Imagine cutting the parallelogram at the red line and moving that triangle piece to the other side, it’ll make a rectangle, that’s why the equation is the same.

James says that 5/5 is greater than 9/10 is he correct please explain so that it is not confusing
astraxan [27]
Yes, James is correct. 

Think of a pizza. If there are 5 slices and you have all 5 of them, then you have the whole pizza. 

Now, instead of the pizza having 5 slices, it now has 10. Since the pizza is still the same size, the pieces are going to smaller. If you have 9 slices out of the 10, you won't have the whole pizza.

This is why 5/5 is greater than 9/10.
