The scale factor of the Reba's drawing is 9/84, 3/28

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio between the two corresponding sides of the figure. The point worth noting in computing the scale factor is that both sides must have similar units of dimension while using for comparison purpose.

Given the scale used by Reba is 9 inches to 7 feet

Since both the units are different, we have the option to either convert inches to feet or vice versa

We proceed with converting feet to inches

We know that 1 foot equals to 12 inches. Hence 7 feet would equal 84 inches.

Now scale factor= first dimension/ corresponding dimension

Scale factor= 9/84 which can be reduced to 3/28

The area of the surface of the swimming pool is 210 square feet. What is the length d of the deep end (in feet)?
luda_lava [24]
The answer is 3.16 ft

The surface area (SA) of the rectangular prism is:
SA = 2lw + 2ld + 2wd

However, the pool is without the top side, so the area of the top side should be excluded from the surface area of the pool. The surface area of the rectangular pool is:
SA = lw + 2ld + 2wd

We know:
SA = 210 ft²
l = 9 ft
w = 10 ft
d = ?

210 = 9 * 10 + 2 * 9 * d + 2 * 10 * d
210 = 90 + 18d + 20d
210 - 90 = 38d
120 = 38d
d = 120/38
d = 3.16 ft

Five less than twice the value of a number is equal to three times the quantity of
MissTica

Answer:

These types of questions are not daunting if you break it down. First look at  "Five less than twice the value of a number."

"Twice the value of a number" is simply 2x.

"Five less" is simply -5, so for the first part we have (2x-5)

Next, analyze the second part. "Three times the quantity of four more than one half the number."

Looking at "Three times the quantity" simply means "3 times something".

"the quantity of four more than one half the number" is 4 + "one half the number" or 4 + (1/2)x.

So the second part is simply 3(4+x/2).

Finally we finish the entire equation, (2x-5) = 3(4+x/2) then solve for x.

2x-5 = 12 + (3/2)x

2x-(3/2)x = 17

x/2 = 17

x=34

Checking the left side, (2x-5) = 2(34) - 5 = 63.

Checking the right side, 3(4+(34/2)) = 3(4+17) = 3(21) = 63.
