Question

6) The painting The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh is rectangular in shape with height 29 inches and width 36.25 inches. If a reproduction was made where each dimension is the corresponding original dimension, what is the height of the reproduction, in inches? 7) What value of \( t \) is the solution of the equation above?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the height of the reproduction,

we need to multiply the original height by 1/3. 29 inches * 1/3 = 9.6667 inches

Rounding the Reproduction Height: The given answer is 9.7 inches. To understand why, let's look at the rounding rules: - If the digit following the decimal point is less than 5, we round down. - If the digit following the decimal point is 5 or greater, we round up. In this case, the digit following the decimal point is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we round up the nearest tenth. 9.6667 inches rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.7 inches.
