Charlene is a video game designer and wants to make sure that her games can be played on all types of screens. In order for the

games to work on both devices with a standard aspect ratio and those with widescreen aspect ratios, the playable area of the games should have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This means that the width is equal to times the height. On one type of tablet, the playable area of the game on the screen is 54 square inches. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the dimensions of the playable area. A. The playable area has a width of 13.5 inches and a height of 9 inches. B. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. C. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Answer:

The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²

B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio

C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement

D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

w/h = 3/2

wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches

Answer:

D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the playable area is 54 and that such ratio of dimensions is 3:2

Then we are basically being asked to find the factor of ratios below that also multiply to get 54

54 = 9 x 6 and this is also a ratio of 3:2

As 3(3 + 2) = 54

and as width was asked first when ratio was given 3:2

The width therefore is 9 and the height is 6

So answer is D

Select the correct answer. (Remember there will be a length, width and height and they are all different numbers).

A) 122 in^2, this is because 3 x 7 x 2= 42, 4 x 7 x 2= 56, 3 x 4 x 2= 24, once you add up all the sums it equals 122

You made a deal with Ms.Williams to read 100 pages every night. You know that it takes you 32 minutes to read 16 pages. How long
AnnyKZ [126]
Put the problem into a proportion to make it easier to solve.

32        x
      =
16       100

You can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Multiply 32 by 100, and set that number equal to 16 *x.  

Your equation should now look like this
3200=16x

You are trying to get the variable alone on one side, so you should divide both sides by 16.

If this is performed correctly, then your final answer should be 

x=200.

It will take you 200 minutes (3 hours 20 mins) to read the pages that you promised Ms. Williams

A clothing store used the sign show below to advertise a discount on shirts:
Murljashka [212]
Tax= Tax %(Price of 2 Shirts + 50% of 3rd Shirt)
Tax= 7.1%[49.96+49.96+1/2(49.96)]
Tax= 0.071(49.96+49.96+24.98)
Tax= 0.071(124.90)
Tax= $8.8679

Total= Tax + Price of Shirts
Total= $8.8679 + $124.90
Total= $133.7689 or rounded $133.77

Mean Price= Total ÷ 3
Mean= $44.5893 or rounded $44.59

Answer: C) $44.59

Hope this helps! :)
