You multiply the area by the scale factor twice. Here is an example: if we have a rectangle that has a length 3 and a height of 4 and the scale drawing with a scale factor of 2, how many times bigger is the scale drawings area? The original shape is 3 by 4 so we multiply those to find the area of 12 square units.

hope it helps!!!

A custodian plans to repaint some classrooms. He has 5 = gallons of paint. All of

dlinn [17]

Answer: 2 bookcases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of bookcases that the custodian will be able to repaint completly with 5 gallons of paint.

According to the data given, the custodian needs 2 gallons of paint to repaint one bookcase. Since all the bookcases are equal, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{2}{1}=\frac{5}{x}$

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value:

$(x)(\frac{2}{1})=5\\\\2x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{2}\\\\x=2.5$

Notice that the custodian will be able to repaint 2 bookcases completely, then you can say that:

$x\approx2$
