Shawna reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 2 inches. what is the new width of it was originally 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall?

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If it was originally 24 inches wide, and 12 inches tall, it had a 2:1 proportional width to height measurement.

So if the height is 2 inches, then the width has to be 4 inches because that would be 4:2, which reduces to 2:1.

24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height was reduced by 2 inches, so it affects the "tall". Previously, the height was 12 inches, and with the reduction, the new rectangle is 10 inches tall. However, this reduction does not affect the width, and so it's measurement stays the same.

answer: 2/4

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
