Can you explain what the question is asking?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The house blueprint shows the bedroom is 4 in wide and its actual length is 12 yards wide. This means that every 1 inch on the blue print represents 3 yards on the actual building. The scale is the ratio of the length of a side on the blueprint to the length of a corresponding side on the actual. Therefore, the scale for the blueprint is 3: 1
Therefore, the scale factor is 3
Answer:
5 1/3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve
8 miles x miles
------------ = --------
3 hours 2 hours
Using cross products
8*2 = 3x
16 = 3x
Divide by 3
16/3 = 3x/3
5 1/3 miles =x
Answer:
495
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved b using a combination. We're using a combination for this because the order in which you would pick the books doesn't matter. To solve, we would plug in the number of books, in this case 12, into the n value of the combination. Then we would plug in the number of books that would be picked, in this case 4, into the r value of the combination. Solve the combination, and you get 495.
