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}}

Please help me with this problem

(a) It is leaking 18 liters per minute.

Explanation : From 15 minutes to 20 minutes, your starting point at 15 is 590 liters and at 20 you have exactly 500. Next you have 25 which is now at 410. So it's leaking 90 liters every five minutes, so of course dividing the two (90 ÷ 5) you get 18.

(a)² it increases for about the same time that it would decrease of course.

(b) The vat started at 860 liters before they started draining it.

Explanation : Well, all it takes is just working backwards, add 90 liters to the liters at 15 minutes and deduct five minutes from 15. Do this process until you arrive at 0. It's simple
