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

kirill [66]

Answer:

<h3>A. 1 hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If one cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the expression 75 + 50x, where x is the amount of hours they spend cleaning and another cleaning company's cost can be calculated using the expression 50 + 75x, then to calculate how long each company will have to clean to cost the same amount, we will equate both expression of the company cost and solve for x as shown;

On equating:

75 + 50x,  =  75x + 50

collect like terms'

50x-75x = 50-75

-25x = -25

divide both sides by -25

-25x/-25 = -25/-25

x = 1

hence the number of hours each company will have to clean to cost the same amount is 1 hour
