Models were build using a scale of 1 in : 50 ft. Find the height of the model for a building that is actually 470ft. tall.

1 answer:

5 0

Proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc

a = 1 ; b = 50 ; c = x ; d = 470

1 inches : 50 feet = x inches : 470 feet
1* 470 = 50x
470/50 = x
9.4 = x

The model should be 9.4 inches high.

It takes Bobby 12 hours longer to build a robot than it takes Alex. Together, they can build the Robot in 8 hours. How long does

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is shown below:

Given that

Bobby could take 12 hours

Together they could build in 8 hours

So based on the above information

the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is

Let us assume the above line be x

So,

$\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{6 - 4}{48} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{2}{48} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\x = \frac{48}{2}$

x = 24 hours
