Answer:

1.\boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}; 2. \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the area of the floor

If the area A₁ of a square floor on the scale drawing is 100 cm², the length of a side is 10 cm.

The side length l of the actual floor is  

l = 10 cm × (2 ft/1 cm) = 20 ft

The area A₂ of the floor is  

A = l² = (20 ft)² = \boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}\\

Step 2. Calculate the area ratios

We must express both areas in the same units.  

Let's express the area of the room in square centimetres.

l = 20 ft ×  (12 in/1 ft) = 240 in

l = 240 in × (2.54 cm/1 in) = 609.6 cm

A₂ = l² = (609.6 cm)² = 371 612 cm²

The area A₁ on the scale drawing is 100 cm².

The ratio of the areas is

\frac{A_{1}}{ A_{2}} = \frac{100}{371612} = \frac{1 }{3716}\\

The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

At the grocery store, apples are one price and chocolate bars are another. mary buys three apples and one chocolate bar for $2.7
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 is to collect the information in a table format.  The attached Table1 summarizes what we know in columns 1 - 3. Columns 4 - 6 show the data we're about to calculate, so ignore them for the moment.

.I use A for the price of one apple and C for the price of 1 chocolate bar.  We know how many of each are purchased by both Mary and Bill, and the total each paid.  

The last column (6) shows the price for each, which comes from the derivation presented below.

We can set the information in columns 1 - 3 into equations:

Mary:  3A+1C = 2.70   [This states that Mary bought 3 apples at a price of A for each apple, and 1 chocolate bar at a price of C per bar.]

Bill:      1A + 4C = 6.40  [In the same fashion, this summarizes how Bill parted with his $6.40]

---

Now let's rearrange either equation to solve for C.  I'll use Mary's equation:

3A+1C = 2.70

1C = 2.70 - 3A

This tells us that the price of 1 chocolate bar is $2.70 minus the cost of 3 apples.  Interesting, but we need the price of a chocolate bar to determine an exact amount.

----

Now take Bill's equation and substitute the value we just derived for the price of a chocolate bar <u>C</u> = (2.70-3A).

1A + 4<u>C</u> = 6.40

1A + 4(2.70 - 3A) = 6.40

1A + 10.80 - 12A = 6.40

-11A = -4.40

A = 0.40    This is the price for 1 apple.  This is the value in the last column (6) of attached Table1.

---

Now we can use the value of $0.40 in either equation to find the price of a chocolate bar.  I'll use the rearranged equation we developed for Mary:

1C = 2.70 - 3A

1C = 2.70 - 3(0.40)   [A = 0.40 from the above work]

1C = 2.70 - 1.20

1C = 1.50

The price of 1 chocolate bar is $1.50.  Pricey, and bad for health.  But very tasty.

Columns 4 and 5 are the total costs for the apples and bars bought by each, and their sums add up to the amounts we were given at the start of the problem.  So our prices must be correct.
