Javier works in a photo lab and needs to make a reduced copy of a photograph that is 8 inches long. The customer wants the copy
to have a length of 4.5 inches. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. Javier and his boss had an argument, because Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request. His boss said that pressing the button 5 times would result in a length less than the desired 4.5 inches. Which of the following conclusions can be made?
The boss is correct because if you press the button 5 time knowing that if u press it one time it is going to have the photo at 7.04 inches so if you keep going by the time you get to 5 times it is going to about 4.22 so you would have had to press it 4 times which would equal 5.4 inches
