Which of the following proportions can be used to solve the problem below? Suppose you are using a photocopier to reduce the size of a picture that is 7
inches wide by 10 inches long. If you reduce the picture so that it is 6 inches
wide, how long will it be?

46

step-by-step explanation:

given

height = 168 cm

formula

height =2.47*f+54.13

solution

168 = 2.47f + 54.13             subtract 54.13 from both sides

168 - 54.13   = 2.47f             combine

113.87 = 2.47f                     divide by 2.47

113.87 / 2.47 = f                   combine

46.1 = f  

answer: 46 cm

during a construction project, engineers used explosives to excavate 140 feet of tunnel into a mountain. but because of time constraints and environmental concerns, they brought in a tunnel boring machine (tbm) to excavate the rest of the tunnel. the data table lists some observations an engineer made about the length of the tunnel after the tbm was introduced.

which equation represents the length of the completed tunnel based on the number of days since tbm was introduced?

the answer is y = 45x + 140
