The piece Zoe cut off would be 1 and 5/12 ft long.
5 and 1/4 - 3 and 5/6
The least common denominator is 24.
5 and 6/24 - 3 and 20/24
5 and 6/24 becomes 4 and 30/24
4 and 30/24 - 3 and 20/24 = 1 and 10/24
1 and 10/24 can be simplified to 1 and 5/12.

Answer:

length of piece cut off from the board was 1\frac{5}{12} feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Board with Zoe has the length = 5\frac{1}{4} feet

≈ \frac{21}{4} feet

Now she cut off a piece of length then the length of the board = 3\frac{5}{6} feet

≈ \frac{23}{6} feet

Length of the piece of piece she cut off = \frac{21}{4}-\frac{23}{6}

= \frac{63-46}{12}

=  \frac{17}{12}

= 1\frac{5}{12} feet

Therefore, length of piece cut off from the board was 1\frac{5}{12} feet.

Elenas bed measures 3‘ x 6‘ on the scale drawing what are the actual measurements of her bed
Sonbull [250]

Using proportions, supposing a scale of 1 inch = 3 feet, the actual measurements of her bed are given by: 9 ft x 18 ft.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and equations can be built to find the desired measures in the problem using basic arithmetic operations such as multiplication or division, from the relations built in the problem.

One example of application of proportions is for scale problems, as the actual scale and the drawing length are compared to find the actual length of the object drawn.

In the context of this problem, the scale is given by:

1 inch = 3 feet.

The drawn length of the bed is given by:

3 inches x 6 inches.

Hence the actual length is given by:

9 feet x 18 feet.

As:

  • 3 x 3 = 9.
  • 6 x 3 = 18.

<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>

The scale of the drawing is missing, hence we are going to suppose that it is 1 inch = 3 feet.
