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

What is the graph of y = x - 3 (shown below) translated up 2 units?
Mrac [35]
I don't see a "shown below," so I'm not sure if I could accurately answer your question. However, if your graph point is (x,-3), then it wants you to move your graphed point up two units. I believe that would be y = x -1? I'm not sure

Travis has decided to budget his spending money. He can spend no more
Oxana [17]

x + 4.3x \leq 125.75 is the inequality that describes this problem

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Travis can spend no more  than $125.75 every month

To find: linear inequality that describes the problem

Let the amount spent on movies = x dollars

Given that Travis decided to spend 4.3 times as much  money on video games as he spends on movies

Amount spent on video games = 4.3 (amount spent on movies)

Amount spent on video games = 4.3x

Travis can spend no more than $125.75.  That is, he can spend less than or equal to $125.75

<em><u>Thus, the inequality representing the situation is:</u></em>

\text{ Amount spent on movies + Amount spent on video games } \leq 125.75

x + 4.3x \leq 125.75

Thus the required inequality is found

Khalid invested $9500 in a savings account with a yearly interest rate of 3% for 8 years. How much simple interest did he earn?
NemiM [27]
So simple interest, you don't compound anything, you will always add 3% from $9500 and it will not change. The equation will look like this:

9500*[1+(0.03*8)]
giving us 9500*1.24 = $11,780

The price of a visit to the dentist is $50 . If the dentist fills any cavities, an additional charge of, 100$ per cavity gets ad
frozen [14]
The cost of the visit to the dentist can be expressed as the cost equals 100x+50.

The initial cost of the appointment would be $50; no matter how many cavities one has, they would still have to pay $50.

The cost of each cavity is represented as 100x, because each cavity costs $100. x represents the number of cavities, as we do not know how many cavities there are.
