Answer: The length of the car in Ivan's scale drawing is 8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation: Megan creates a scale drawing for a car and her scale is measured as 3 cm : 2 m. One meter equals one hundred centimetres, that means the 3 centimetres used in Megan's drawing equals two hundred centimetres in actual length of the car. Hence, for every two centimetres she draws, the actual length is times three hundred, which can be represented as follows;

Ratio = 3 : 200

If the drawing was eventually six centimetres, then the actual car length would be,

3/200 = 6/x

Where x represents the actual length of the car

3x = 6*200

x = (6*200)/3

x = 400

Therefore the actual length of the car is 400 centimetres (or 4 metres)

Ivan draws the same car using a ratio of two centimetres to one metre. With our conversion rate already given above (100 cm = 1 m), Ivan's ratio is

2 : 100

Having known the length of the actual car to be 400 centimetres, Ivan's drawing would have a scale calculated as;

2/100 = y/400

Where y represents the length of the car in Ivan's scale drawing

2*400 = 100y

(2*400)/100 = y

8 = y

Therefore the length of the car in Ivan's scale drawing is 8 centimetres

Answer:

Givens

The length of the car in her drawing is 6 cm.
The scale is 3 cm : 2 m.
Ivan draws with a relation 2 cm : 1 m.

First, we need to find the actual length of the car using Megan's ratio.

If 2 centimeters is equivalent to 1 actual meter of the car, 6 centimeters of drawing would be equal to

$M=6cm \times \frac{2m}{3cm} =4m$

Therefore, the car is 4 meters long.

Now, using this information, we can find the length of the scale drawing of Ivan.

$I=4m \times \frac{2cm}{1m}=8cm$

Therefore, Ivan's drawing is 8 centimeters long.

Miss has a sheet of wrapping paper 85cm in length and 60 cm in width. She cuts the paper into rectangular pieces of length 20 cm

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Part a - 25 pieces

Part b - 4 sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part a</u>

Think of this in terms of how many "units" can the total paper be cut into. Easiest way to keep track of units is by their area. In other words, take the total area and see how many unit areas fit into it:

Number of units = total area / unit area

N = (85 x 60) / (20 x 10)

N = 5100 / 200

N = 25.5

Therefore the greatest number of pieces the paper can be cut into is 25 units (the 0.5 doesn't count since it's not a full pieces).

<u>Part b</u>

Again, back to units. This time the "total" is 100, and our unit size is 25.5. So:

Number of units = total gifts / gifts per unit

N = 100 / 25.5

N = 3.9

Therefore 4 sheets of wrapping paper will be needed (you need to round the 3.9 up because wrapping paper sheets only come in whole numbers for the purposes of this question).

Arianys wants to ride her bicycle 55.5 miles this week. She has already ridden 19 miles. If she rides for 5 more days, which equ

Sergeu [11.5K]

The equation that could be used to determine, m, is 5m = 55.5 - 19. The correct option is C. m = (55.5 - 19)/5

<h3>Writing equation</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the equation that could be used to determine, m, the average number of miles she would have to ride to meet her goal

From the given information,

"<em>Arianys wants to ride her bicycle 55.5 miles</em>"

and

"<em>She has already ridden 19 miles</em>"

Thus,

The number of miles she needs to ride more is

55.5 miles - 19 miles

= 36.5 miles

If m is the average number of miles she would have to ride for 5 more days to complete her goal,

Then, we can write that

m = 36.5/5

m = (55.5 - 19)/5

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine, m, is 5m = 55.5 - 19. The correct option is C. m = (55.5 - 19)/5

Answer:

$Blue = \frac{8}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Yellow = 1ft^2$

$Blue = 8z^{-1$

Required

Evaluate Blue when z = 9

To do this, we simply substitute 9 for z in $Blue = 8z^{-1$

$Blue = 8 * 9^{-1$

Convert indices to fraction

$Blue = 8 * \frac{1}{9}$

$Blue = \frac{8}{9}$

<em>Hence, the blue section has an area of </em> $\frac{8}{9}ft^2$ <em></em>

Question Which sequence of transformations maps pre-image ABC to image A′B′C′ ? Triangle ABC was reflected over the y-axis and t

Stells [14]

The sequence of transformations was Triangle ABC was reflected over the y-axis and then translated 2 units up and 2 units to the right.

<h3>What is a transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, translation, rotation and dilation.

Rigid transformation is the transformation that does not change the shape or size of a figure. Examples of rigid transformations are <em>translation, reflection and rotation</em>.
