Huw has a maths test. the second question is:

1 answer:

5 0

Huw's answer of 9 days is incorrect because more guests would finish the food in less time so the number of days for 30 guests is less than 6 days.

The number of days that the food can last 30 guests is 4 days.

<h3>How long will Seaview Hotel's food feed 30 guests?</h3>

More guests would eat the food faster which means that it would be finished in less days than the 6 days used by 20 guests.

To find the days the food would last 30 guests, use the inverse proportion formula:
= (Number of guests x Number of days food lasts for guests) / New number of guests

= (20 x 6) / 30

= 4 days

Full question is:

The only food provided for guests at Seaview Hotel is breakfast. The hotel has enough food to make breakfast for 20 guests for 6 days. How long would the food last 30 guests? You may assume each guest eats the same amount of food for breakfast.

Without working out the correct answer, explain why Huw’s answer of 9 days is incorrect.

Above are two different models of the same triangular-shaped garden. If the height of the model on the left is 14 cm, what is th

Katyanochek1 [597]

Please consider the attached graph.

We have been given that there are two different models of the same triangular-shaped garden. The height of the model on the left is 14 cm. We are asked to find the height of the model.

First of all, we will convert 14 cm into feet.

We can see that model on left side has a scale of 1 cm is equal to 15 feet.

14 cm = 14×15 feet = 210 feet.

We can see that model on the right side has a scale of 1 cm is equal to 7.5 feet.

Since both models represent same triangular-shaped garden, so the actual height for the both models will be same.

Now we need to convert actual height of 210 feet into inches using 2nd scale.

$\text{210 ft}=210\text{ ft}\times \frac{1\text{ inch}}{\text{7.5 ft}}=\frac{210}{7.5}\text{ inch}=28\text{ inch}$
