Answer:
See image
Step-by-step explanation:
The new trapezoid will be smaller than the original. Each side will be 2/3 of the original. The top is length 3 originally so times that by 2/3. When you multiply a whole number times a fraction, just multiply the whole (big) number times the top number in the fraction. A fraction bar is just dividing.
If you know how to cancel, you can do that instead.
See image for calculations of new side lengths. Sorry I didn't draw the new one. It is the same shape, just smaller.
Answer:
The fraction of the original strip left is .
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that,
A strip of paper is cut in . So, the strip of paper left is
.
Now, again the remaining part is cut in half. The part left will be i.e.
.
Finally, the remaining part is again cut in half.
We get, the final part of the paper remaining is i.e.
.
So, the fraction of the original strip left is .
