The height of the building is calculated by representing 1 inch as 8 feet. The final building has a height of 20 feet.

<h3>What is scaling?</h3>

Scaling is the increase or decrease in the height of an object by a scale factor k.

Given that the scale used is:

1 inch = 8 feet. Hence:

Since the height of the building is 2.5 in, hence:

Height of the final building = 2.5 in * 8 ft per 1 in = 20 feet

The height of the final building is 20 feet.

Using proportions, we have that:

  1. The height of the building is found using a rule of three.
  2. The height is of 20 feet.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The scale is of 1 inch = 8 feet. What is the height for 2.5 inches? The <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

1 inch - 8 feet.

2.5 inches - x feet

Applying cross multiplication, the height in feet of the final building is given by:

x = 8 x 2.5 = 20 feet.

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.9375.
Setler [38]

Since z is inversely proportional to x, when x increases by a factor of 26/16, z will be multiplied by the inverse of that factor: 16/26

z=\dfrac{16}{26}\cdot 0.9375=0.5\overline{769230}=\dfrac{15}{26}

1. 5x/2 +y=-3 
2. False
3. y= -5x-37  because y=mx-b
4. y= 1/5 x - 1 because y=mx-b  
M= the slope and b represents the intercept.
