1 foot = 12 inches
42 feet = (42 x 12) = 504

The factor of (6 inches / 42 feet) is (6 inches / 504 inches) = 1 / 84 .

The scale factor is not in inches.  It's a factor, and has no units.
A 1-ft model would represent a real 84 feet.
A 1-meter model would represent a real 84 meters.
A 1-yard model would represent a real 84 yards.

The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Okapi=o llama=l

o+l=450

3l=190+o

I cant remember how to work it out but if you have a graphics calculator you would open a calculator page, press Menu:3:1 (solve function) and type in those equations. It would look like this:

solve(o+l=450 and 3l=190o,o)

l=160    o=290

llamas are 160kg and okapis are 290kg. Hope that helped a bit :)

1/x is smallest when x is the largest it can be, so it is 1/3

1/y is smallest when y is the largest it can be, so it is 1/5

The average of 1/3 is 1/5 can be found by adding them together and dividing by 2:

1/3 + 1/5 = 5/15 + 3/15 = 8/15

Divide it by 2:

4/15

The answer is C.
