Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual height of the statue = 40 ft

Converting to in,

= 40 ft * 12 in/1 ft

= 480 in.

Scaled height of the statue = 8 in

= 480/8

= 60 in scale

Therefore, scale is 60 in to 1 in

= 5 ft to 1 in.

Answer:

The scale is 5ft represents 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

from length conversions 1ft = 12 inches

On the scale model, the height of the statue is 8 inches. The actual height is 40 ft.

40ft = 40*12 inches =480 inches

divide 480 by 8 inches = 480/8 =60

the height of the statue was scaled down using;

60 inches represents 1 inch

convert 60 inches to ft by dividing by 12.   60/12 =5ft  . Thus

5ft  represents 1 inch

The scale is 5ft represents 1 inch

Find two numbers, if their sum is 49 and their difference is 1/2 .
amm1812

Answer:

x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

So we have:

x +y = 49\\x-y=\frac{1}{2}

using the elimination method, add the two equations together:

2x=49\frac{1}{2} \\2x=\frac{99}{2}

solve for x:

x=\frac{99}{4}\\x=24\frac{3}{4}

substitute our value for x back into the first equation we made:

x+y=49\\(\frac{99}{4}) + y=49\\y=49-\frac{99}{4}\\y=\frac{97}{4} \\ y=24\frac{1}{4}

therefore,

x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}

wariber [46]

Answer:

30 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

2 apples : 5 oranges

12 apples : 30 oranges

because 12 apples is 6 times the original ratio, so we multiply the 5 oranges by 6 too.
