You are reducing a map of 24 in. by 36 in. to fit onto a piece of paper 8 in. by 10 in. What are the dimensions of the largest possible map that can fit on the page?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The largest possible map that can fit on the page is 8 in. by 12 in.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

We can begin by finding the scale factor by which the map needs to be reduced.

Since the map dimensions are 24 in. by 36 in., and we want to fit it onto a page that is 8 in. by 10 in.

We need to reduce each dimension by the same factor.

Let x be the scale factor:

24/x = 8

36/x = 10

Solving for x, we get:

x = 24/8 = 3

Therefore, we need to reduce the map by a scale factor of 3.

To find the dimensions of the largest possible map that can fit on the page, we divide the original map dimensions by 3:

24/3 = 8

36/3 = 12

Hence, the largest possible map that can fit on the page is 8 in. by 12 in.

Answer 2

Answer: Since 10 in will be the longer side, to find the shorter did
x/10 = 24/36
x/10 = 2/3
x = 10•(2/3)
x = 6 2/3
So the dimensions are
6 2/3 in by 10 in

How do I solve 8 + 5/16

Answers

$8 + (5)/(16) = (8)/(1) + (5)/(16) = (8*16)/(16) + (5)/(16) = (8*16+5)/(16)= (133)/(16)$

8/1 + 5/16
*16
128/16 + 5/16 = 133/16

Answers

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt[5]{810x^3}}{3x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rule, the "simplified form" means there are no fractions under a radical.

$\sqrt[5]{(10x)/(3x^3)}=\sqrt[5]{(10x(3^4x^2))/(3x^3(3^4x^2))}=\sqrt[5]{(810x^3)/((3x)^5)}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt[5]{810x^3}}{3x}}$
