Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup.

inches/feet=inches/feet

We know the scale is 1 inch to 6 feet. We also know that the plane is 8 inches long, but we don't know how many feet long it is, so we can say <em>x </em>feet.

1 inch/6 feet= 8 inches/ x feet

1/6=8/x

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second. Multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second.

1*x=6*8

x=6*8

x=48

Add appropriate units, in this case: feet.

x= 48 feet

The actual airplane is 48 feet long.

The airplane is 48 feet long in real dimensions.

To find out how long the airplane actually is, we can use the scale and input our amount of inches that it is measured by.

So, 1 inch equals to 6 feet.

Our model plane is 8 inches.

Now, we plug it in.

8 inches = 6(8)

8 inches = 48 feet

Therefore, the length of the real airplane is 48 feet.

48 feet

Yuri [45]
<span>In this expression, the variable ’t’ stands in for any possible value of seconds. Therefore, since you know how long it takes the object to fall in seconds, you can put this into the expression. 16 x (4^2) = 256. The distance is 256ft.</span>

27 1/5 over 4/5 as a unit rate
REY [17]

Answer:

\frac{34}{1}  or 34

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit rate divide 27 1/5 by 4/5

but first

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

27\frac{1}{5}=27+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{27*5+1}{5} =\frac{136}{5}

so

\frac{136}{5}:\frac{4}{5}=\frac{136}{4}=\frac{34}{1}
