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

How many solutions does the equation have?<br><br> 2x + 3 = 4x + 2
fenix001 [56]
Well, solve for x.

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

So, there is only one solution: 1/2

How many cubic centimeters is 5 cubic meters.
tresset_1 [31]
The key to solving this question is first knowing how many cubic cm are in one cubic m:

The ratio is always 1000000 cubic cm in 1 cubic meter.

Knowing this, we calculate how many cubic cm are in 5 cubic meters!

<u>1000000 cubic cm </u>= <u>1 </u><span><u>cubic m</u>
      x </span>cubic cm           5 cubic m

x = 1000000 cubic cm x 5 cubic m ÷ 1 cubic m
x = 5<span>000000 cubic cm

Hope this helps!
