So the actual titanic was 882 feet and 9 inches long, and the model is 2 feet and 6 inches.

1.) Convert both the model and the real titanic to inches.
882 feet = 10584 inches (multiply 12) plus another 9 inches is 10593 inches

And for the model,
2 feet is 24 inches plus another 6 inches is 30 inches.

2.) Find the scale factor compared to the model and the actual thing.
The actual thing is 10,593 and the model is 30 inches. Divide 10593 by 30 to find the scale factor. You should get <span>353.1

</span>3.) Multiply the scale factor to the height.
Since we have the model height and the scale factor, to find the actual height we can just multiply the model height times the scale factor.

6 inches x 353.1 = <span>2118.6 inches
</span>That means the titanic's actual height is 2118.6 inches

4.) Round to the nearest inch.
Because the instructions say round to the nearest inch, we must round 2118.6 to the nearest inch.
You should get 2119 (because the 6 in the tenths place is greater than 4)

Our final answer is 2119 inches. :)

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (2, –1) and (5, –10) in slope-intercept form?y=-3x-5y=-3x+5y=3x-5 y=
mars1129 [50]
Find the slope:
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
m=-10--1/5-2
m=-9/3
m=-3

If you plug in points (for x and y) into the second equation, you will notice that it results in true statements.

Therefore, your answer is the second choice:
y=-3x +5

7/10+4/5= write the sum in simplest form
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

7/10 + 4/5

  • Make 4/5 have a common denominator with 7/10 by multiplying 4/5 by 2/2.
  • 4/5 * 2/2 = 8/10

Add 7/10 and 8/10.

  • 7/10 + 8/10 = 15/10

Simplify 15/10 by dividing both sides by 5/5.

  • 15/10 ÷ 5/5 = <u>3/2 </u>or<u> 1 1/2</u>

how would you write " The sum of one-third of a number, one-half of a number,and twice the number is thirty-four" as an equation
Rudik [331]

Answer:  The required equation is \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+2x=34.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to write the following statement as an equation :

"The sum of one-third of a number, one-half of a number and twice the number is thirty-four".

Let the number be represented by x.

Then, one-third of the number is \dfrac{1}{3}x, one-half of the number is \dfrac{1}{2}x and twice the number is 2x.

Therefore, as an equation, the given statement is written as:

\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+2x=34.

Thus, the required equation is \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+2x=34.
