Question

Give fan and medal for help!!!

Jason considered two similar televisions at a local electronics store. The generic version was based on the brand name and was two thirds the size of the brand name. If the generic television set is 12 inches by 24 inches, what are the dimensions of the brand name television?

Answer 1

16 inches by 32 inches

9 inches by 18 inches

18 inches by 36 inches

8 inches by 16 inches

Answer 2

18 inches by 36 inches.

Answer 3

WAIT

Answer 4

THAT'S WRONG

Answer 5

Can you explain how please...

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

I think its 8 by 16...?

Answer 8

Okay, 12 inches by 24 inches is two-thirds of what you're trying to find.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

It's going to be bigger,so it's not 8 by 16

Answer 11

ohhhhhh

Answer 12

or 9 x 18

Answer 13

It actually is what I said first, lol

Answer 14

You sure

Answer 15

Think of it in terms of three. Which of the options have both of the lengths divisible by three?

Answer 16

Right off the bat you can eliminate two options because 16 is not divisible by three.

Answer 17

It can't be the one with 8 because 8 is less than 12.

Answer 18

each dimension is 3/2 times dimension of the generic TV

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

18/3 = 6 and 36/3 =12 ,right? THEN 12 x 24 is two-thirds of that.

Answer 21

I don't know how to explain, my apologies.

Answer 22

Its ok so your pretty much saying my answer has to be bigger than the generic tv

Answer 23

Yes, and both also have to be divisible by three. By process of elimination you can figure it out, but there's a mathematical approach too. You could take all your choices and divide them all by three, and then multiply that by two. The one that equals 12x24 is your answer, basically. But that sounds kinda complicated.

Answer 24

Lol it does

Answer 25

Hope I helped ^.^
