in decimal it is 10.5 and in fraction it is 10 1/2
Answer: 2
Explanation:
The scale factor is the ratio between the scale drawing measures and the actual measures.
scale drawing length 8 inches
scale factor = ratio = -------------------------------- = --------------- = 2
actual length 4 inches
Also,
scale drawing width 14 inches
scale factor = ratio = ----------------------------- = --------------- = 2
actual width 7 inces
As seen the scale factor is 2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Write an equivalent expression
To do this, we simply write as a product of two factors.
Express 4b as 2 * 2b
Express 2m as 2 * m
Factor 2 out of the expression:
Hence:
An equivalent expression is:
Total heads = 10
Total legs = 26
Cat = 4 legs
Birds = 2 legs
------------------------------------
Assumed all birds :
------------------------------------
Total legs = 10 x 2 = 20
------------------------------------
Difference in legs :
------------------------------------
26 - 20 = 6
------------------------------------
Difference in legs between the two animals:
------------------------------------
4 - 2 = 2
------------------------------------
Find number of cats :
------------------------------------
6 ÷ 2 = 3
------------------------------------
Find number of birds :
------------------------------------
10 - 3 = 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: There are 3 cats and 7 birds.
