Question

A student has a rectangular photograph with side lengths of 5 inches and x inches The area of the rectangle is 33 square inches. The student wants to reduce the size of the photograph so that each side length is of its original length. The photograph will be printed on paper that costs $0.16 per square inch. What will be the cost of the paper needed to print the reduced photograph?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

total area = 33

33/5 1/2 = 6 .         X=6

5 1/2 x 1/2 = 2.75 .       6 x 1/2 = 3

2.75 x 3 = 8.25

new area = 8.25

8.25 x .13 = 1.32
