Answer:

0.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy 1:

Make the equation: 5=a•s, where s is the scale factor and "a" is the number of centimeters which 5 meters

First, we need to find the scale factor. 50 meters would be s times greater than 2 centimeters. Find s by first converting meters into centimeters
50m=5000cm. 5000cm=2cm*s, so s = 2500
5m=a*2500, a=0.002 meters, and 0.002 meters is equal to 0.2 centimeters.

Strategy 2:
the ratio of the scale drawing to real life will always stay the same, so
2 cm / 50 meters = x / 5 meters, and cross multiply to get
x cm* 50 m = 2 cm * 5 m, so
x cm * 10 = 2 cm
x cm = 2/10 cm
x cm = 0.2 cm

Strategy 3:
Notice that 5 meters is 10 times smaller than 50 meters, so on the scale drawing, we are looking for a number 10 times smaller than 2 centimeters, so  2/10=0.2 cm

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

cost of one medium drink = $3.80

cost of one large popcorn = $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D = cost of one medium drink

Let P = cost of one large popcorn

If a couple bought 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn for $13.85:

⇒ 2D + P = 13.85

If a family bought 3 medium drinks and 2 large popcorn for a total of $23.90:

⇒ 3D + 2P = 23.90

Rewrite 2D + P = 13.85 to make P the subject:

⇒ P = 13.85 - 2D

Substitute into 3D + 2P = 23.90 and solve for D:

⇒ 3D + 2(13.85 - 2D) = 23.90

⇒ 3D + 27.7 - 4D = 23.90

⇒ D = 3.8

Substitute found value of D into P = 13.85 - 2D to find P:

⇒ P = 13.85 - (2 x 3.8) = 6.25

Therefore,

cost of one medium drink = $3.80

cost of one large popcorn = $6.25

Using the line of the best fit, the predicted student's score in English test is 48

<h3>How to determine the student's score in English?</h3>

From the question, we have:

Mathematics score = 60

The scores in English tests are plotted on the y-axis.

On the given graph, we have:

(x,y) = (60,48)

This means that when x = 60, the value of y is 48

This in other words means that the student's score in English test is 48
