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

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( − 4 , 8 )and has a slope of − 1/4
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the point and slope into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/4(-4) + b

8 = 1 + b

7 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = -1/4x + 7

So, the equation of the line is y = -1/4x + 7

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. What fractional part of a house can 4 people frame a house in
Alina [70]

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. That means it will take one person 10\times6=60 days to finish the house.

Which means that it will take 4 people \frac{60}{4}=15 days to finish the house.

So, the fractional part of the house 4 people can frame in 3 days will be \frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}

Thus, Option D is the correct answer.

Find the measures of ∠B and ∠C. PLEASE HELP!!
BartSMP [9]

It's an isosceles triangle, therefore m∠B = m∠C.

We have the equation:

2x + 10 = 3x - 5      <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

2x = 3x - 15     <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

-x = -15     <em>change the signs</em>

x = 15

m∠B = (2x + 10)°

m∠B = (2 · 15 + 10)° = (30 + 10)° = 40°

We know, the sum of measures of a tringle is equal 180°.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠B = m∠C = 40°

<h3>Answer: ∠B = 40° and ∠C = 40°</h3>
