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

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = 50

x = 5

50/5 = 10

do the same on the other side

so 2/10 = 0.2

Which describes the graph of mc014-1.jpg on [0, 3)? The steps are at –2 from 0 to 1, at –1 from 1 to 2, and at 0 from 2 to 3. Th
Strike441 [17]
1) The graph consists of three horizontal segments, with discontinuities (jumps) at x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3. 
A horizontal segment at y = - 2 for the values x = 0 to 1.
A horizontal segment at y = - 1 for values x = 1 to 2
A horizontal segment at y = 0 for values x - 2 to 3.


2) To know whether the end points of a segment are defined by the left or the right values you have to look for the circle at the extreme of the segment: if it is a solid dot, means that the end is included, if is is an open circle (white inside) then the end is not included in that segment.

3)  That function is based on the function named integer part because if relates y with the integer part of x.

The integer value function is [x] and it makes correspond y values witht he integer values of x.:

y = 0 witht the integer value of x for x between 0 and 1, excluding 1.

y = 1 with the integer value of x between 1 and 2 (excluding 2)

y = 2 with the integer value of x between 2 and 3 (excluding 3)
y = 3 with the integer value of x between 3 and 4 (excluding 4)

But our function is two units below, so it is [x] - 2
