Answer:
A. 3 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, then find the LCD and combine.
<span>You are given a
scale down of the original painting into 1/5.
The ship in the original painting is 14 inches. You are required to
estimate the size of the ship in Akio’s drawing. All you need to do is to
multiply 1/5 by 14.</span>
(1/5) (14 inches)
= 2.8 inches
<span>Therefore, the
scale down of the ship from the original painting is 2.8 inches. </span>
A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:
A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2
A = 4
The answer is c. A = 4
Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Using the formula;

You should get
12.1655 or
12.2 units.
Hope this helps you with Coordinate Solving!
