The room is 5 inches long in the drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Scale drawing used by Kenneth;

1 inch = 4 feet

Ratio of scale = 1:4

Actual length of room = 20 feet

Let,

x be the length in drawing

Ratio of actual length = x:20

Using proportion

Scale ratio :: Actual ratio

1:4::x:20

Product of mean = Product of extreme

4*x=20*1\\4x=20

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}\\x=5

The room is 5 inches long in the drawing.

Nine yards of ribbon are cut into 8 equal pieces what is the length of each piece of ribbon. Write a division expression to repr
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards

x=1.125\ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the length of each piece in yards

If the ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces then the sum of the pieces is:

x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x=8x

Then:

8x=9\ yards

Now we solve the equation for x

8x=9\ yards

Divide both sides of equality by 8

\frac{8}{8}x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards

x=\frac{9}{8}\ yards

So the length of each piece is \frac{9}{8} of a yard.

This is: 1.125 yards
