Answer:
0.2 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy 1:
Make the equation: 5=a•s, where s is the scale factor and "a" is the number of centimeters which 5 meters
First, we need to find the scale factor. 50 meters would be s times greater than 2 centimeters. Find s by first converting meters into centimeters
50m=5000cm. 5000cm=2cm*s, so s = 2500
5m=a*2500, a=0.002 meters, and 0.002 meters is equal to 0.2 centimeters.
Strategy 2:
the ratio of the scale drawing to real life will always stay the same, so
2 cm / 50 meters = x / 5 meters, and cross multiply to get
x cm* 50 m = 2 cm * 5 m, so
x cm * 10 = 2 cm
x cm = 2/10 cm
x cm = 0.2 cm
Strategy 3:
Notice that 5 meters is 10 times smaller than 50 meters, so on the scale drawing, we are looking for a number 10 times smaller than 2 centimeters, so 2/10=0.2 cm
X+y=30
2x-3y=5
y=30-x
2x-3(30-x)=30
2x-90+3x=30
5x=120
x=24
y=30-x
y=30-24
y=6
The positive difference between the two numbers is 18.
