Covert the ratios so they are all the same measurement type.

A. 5 feet = 5 x 12 = 60 inches.

The scale becomes 1:60

B. 1:30

C. 12 yards = 12 x 3 = 36 feet x 12 = 432 inches.

The scale is 12:432  = 1:36

D. 1 meter = 39.37 inches.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

39.37 x 2.54 = 99.99 inches

The scale converted to inches becomes 1 :100 inches.

The first number would be the size of the drawing, the second number is the size of the actual object

If you use all 4 scale factors for a real object that is 100 inches:

A would need 100/60 = 1.67 inches.

B would need 100/30 = 3.3 inches.

C would need 100/36 = 2.78 inches.

D would need 100/100 = 1 inch.

The larger scaled drawing would be B.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which scale would produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

First of all cover all units in inches.

In option 1,

1 inch : 5 feet

We know that

1 feet = 12 inch → 5 feet = 60 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:60. It means the scale factor is 60.

In option 2,

1 inch : 30 inches

So the ratio in inches is 1:30. It means the scale factor is 30.

In option 3,

1 foot : 12 yards

12 inches : 12 yards                     (1 feet = 12 inch)

1 inch : 1 yards

1 inch : 36 inch                     (1 yard = 36 inch)

So the ratio in inches is 1:36. It means the scale factor is 36.

In option 4,

1 centimeter : 1 meter

1 centimeter : 100 centimeter         (1 m = 100 cm)

1 inch : 100 inch

So the ratio in inches is 1:100. It means the scale factor is 100.

Option B has smallest scale factor, so it will produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The ages of five friends are 25, 36, 33, 36 and 30 how many of friends are older than the average (arithmetic mean) age?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

3 friends are older than the average.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the mean. The mean can be found adding all the numbers in the set together and dividing by the amount of numbers in the giving set:

(25 + 36 + 33 + 36 + 30)/5 = (160)/5 = 32

The average age is 32. There are 3 friends that are older than the average (33 , 36 , 36, respectfully).

\frac{?}{12}=\frac{30}{36}, cross multiple

36*?=30*12

36*?=360, divide both sides by 36 to get the missing side (?) by itself
