Answer:
The new width = 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Original dimensions of the rectangular photo:
Length : width = 8 inches : 4 inches
Reduced dimensions of the rectangular photo:
Let
x = the new width
Length : width = 4 inches : x inches
Equate both dimensions to get the value of x
Length : width
8 inches : 4 inches = 4 inches : x inches
8 / 4 = 4 / x
Cross product
8 * x = 4 * 4
8x = 16
x = 16/8
x = 2 inches
The new width = 2 inches
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
600
Step-by-step explanation:
round 2,545 to 2,400 and keep 4 the same because 24 goes into 4 six times so 2400/4 equals 600
24/4 is 6 and you add the two zeros
Answer:
a=-8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-1/2a-5)=3a+1
To find the opposite of 1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.
-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1
The opposite of −5 is 5.
-1/2a+5=-3a+1
add 3a to both sides
-1/2a+5+3a=1
Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a
5/2a+5=1
Subtract 5 from both side
5/2a=1-5
Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.
5/2a=-4
Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of 5/2=2.5.
a=-4x(2/5)
express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single fraction.
a= -4x2/5
Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.
a=-8/5
Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.
a=-8/5
