An architect is recreating the blueprint for a deck with an existing scale factor of 1in.=2ft. Using 12in by 8in. The architect

is using a different scale so that the length of the deck on the new blueprint measures 8 inches. What is the scale factor of the new blueprint? What is the width of the deck on the new blueprint?

Answer:

New scale factor is 1 inch = 3 ft.

New width of the blueprint = (16/3) inches = 5.3333 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial scale factor is 1 inch = 2 ft

And the architect draws a blueprint of 12 inches by 8 inches.

Converting to real life scale using 1 inch = 2 ft

Length = 12 inches = 12 × 2 ft = 24 ft

Width = 8 inches = 8 × 2 ft = 16 ft.

New scale factor turns the length to 8 inches

Scale factor = (length in the drawing)/(real life length)

Scale factor = (8 inches)/(24 ft) = (1 inch)/(3 ft)

Hence, new scale factor is 1 inch = 3 ft.

New width of the blue print

3 ft in real life = 1 inch on paper

16 ft in real life = (16/3) inches on paper

New width of the blueprint = (16/3) inches = 5.333 inches

HELP FASTTTT Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities ?
Mice21 [21]
Well, we do not see the lines clearly (if they are dotted (inequality) or solid (inequality or equal) ), but we'll come back to this.

y<x+1  can be simplified to be y<x if we ignore the constants, so the valid part is BELOW the line, since (y<)

x-4y <=4
again, ignore the constants and simplify to 
x-y<0 or
y>x   so the valid part is ABOVE the line (since y>)

There are two graphs that satisfy BOTH conditions, pink (slope=1) at the bottom, and blue (slope = 1/4) on top, i.e. first and third graph.

For the absolute inequality (y<x+1), the red line must be dotted.
For the <= condition, the blue line must be solid.

As we cannot see the lines clearly, you will make the choice between the first and third graphs according to the previous paragraph.

-2b^2-5b+12 factor the trinomial
Bad White [126]

Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor out the negative sign.

−(2b^2+5b−12)

2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.

−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)

3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))

4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.

−(b+4)(2b−3)

Jamal wrote that 9 – 8.4 = 6
iragen [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 8.4 are less than 1 apart, so 9-8.4 must be less than 1. The actual difference is 9-8.4=0.6 which verifies that our answers are true since 0.6<1.
