Answer: The toy should be 2.4 inches tall
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Explanation:
First convert 6 ft to inches
6 ft = (6 ft)*(12 in/1 ft) = (6*12) inches = 72 inches
So, 6 ft = 72 inches
The toy is manufactured with a scale of 1:30 meaning that the toy is 1 unit tall compared to the soldier which is 30 units tall. The soldier is 30 times taller than the toy. We can therefore form the ratio
1/30 = x/72
where x is the height of the toy soldier in inches
Cross multiply and solve for x
1/30 = x/72
1*72 = 30*x
72 = 30*x
72/30 = 30*x/30
72/30 = x
x = 72/30
x = 12/5
x = 2.4
So the toy should be 2.4 inches tall.
Note how 30 times 2.4 gives us
30*2.4 = 72
which fits with the theme that the real soldier is 30 times taller than the toy counter part.
It could be either, we need more info. How big are each? If it doesn't say, then it's a trick question. Throw Schrodinger's cat at it or something.
Answer:
No, the expression is not linear because the highest power of x is 2.
Answer:
y = 2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+b
m= slope
b= y-intercept (point on line where x= 0.... or the point where the line hits the y-axis)
Determine slope by using slope formula or by counting boxes
By counting boxes, you can see that each point is 2 units up, 1 unit right (2/1)
the slope is 2
the point where the line is touching the y-axis is (0, -2)
m = slope = 2
b = y-intercept = -2
y = 2x + (-2) OR y = 2x -2
Hope this helped! I decided to write it out for you so it would be easier to explain.
