Answer: Hello there!

We know that the model is 28 inches long, and the scale of the model is 1/48 with respect to the real plane.

Now we want to know how long is the actual plane.

If the scale of the model is 1/48, this means that 48 models are equal in length to the actual plane. Then the length of the actual plane is 48 times the length of the model, this is:

L = 48*28 inches = 1344 inches, we could change the units for others more suiting for a plane, using that 1 feet = 12 inches, then we could write the length in feet using dividing the length in inches by 12.

L =1344/12 = 112 feets.

You would say 1/48=28/x and solve the proportion to get an answer of 1344 inches, which is 112 feet.

3. Reasoning Ben says that n = 5 is the solution of the equation 7n = 45. How can you check whether Ben is correct?

likoan [24]

Answer:

You cant, because Ben is WRONG, unless you made a typo while writing the question

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subsitute N for 5, then the equation would be 7 x 5 = 45. However, this is not true. The correct equation is 7 x 5 = 35, so Ben is wrong UNLESS you made a typo while writing the question.

Hope this helped! If it did, please mark it brainliest! It would help a lot! :D

There are 45 new houses being built in a neighborhood Last month, 1/3 of them were sold. This month, 1/5 of the remaining houses

goldfiish [28.3K]

1/3 of 45 is 15.

So 45-15= 30.

1/5 of 30 is 6.

So 30-6=24.

There are 24 houses left to be sold.
