Answer:

  • (a) 3 inches

  • (b)  Her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches because the dimensions are not proportional to the scale.

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the garden in her model? Show your work, including your proportion

<u>1. Scale</u>:

  • model length / real length = 1 inch / 2 feet

<u>2. Proportion</u>:

Naming x the model length:

  • 1 inch / 2 feet = x / 6 feet

Cross multiply:

  • 1 inch × 6 feet = 2 feet × x

Divide both sides by x:

  • x = 1 inch × 6 feet / 2 feet = 3 inch.

Answer: 3 inches

(b) If the width is 5 inches for the scale model and the scale is still 1 inch to 2 feet, will her scale model drawing fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches? Why or why not?​

Both the width and the length must use the same scale, thus the corresponding sides of the scale model and the drawing must be proportional.

In the model the ratio of the length to the width is 3 inch / 5 inch

In the paper the ratio of the length to the width is 8.5 inch / 7 inch

Hence, you can see that in the model the length (mumerator of the fraction) is less than the width (denominator) while in the paper it is the opposite. Bieng the two ratios different, they are not proportional, and you conclude that her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches.

For all of these you're trying to solve for the variable. The variable is usually a number or symbol.

11) -44+n=36
Step one would be to add 44 to both sides of the equation.

N=80

12) -36=p-91
Step one would be to add -91 to both sides of the equation.

P=55

13) X-225=671
Step one you be to add 225 to both sides of the equation. Although it may seem difficult because of the big numbers, it's the same technique.

14) 19=c-(-12)
Step one on this equation will be a little different. Because there are two negative signs (-), they turn into a plus sign. Remember, two negative signs make a positive sign.

19=c+12

Now you just subtract 12 from each side of the equation.
