Find the distance represented by a 3-inch line on a blueprint with a scale of 3/8 inch = 1 foot

Mathematics

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the scale of 3/8 inch = 1 foot, we can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the number of feet equal to 3 inches:

\frac{3}{8}=0.375

\frac{inches}{foot}=\frac{0.375}{1}=\frac{3}{x}

Cross-multiply: 0.375x = 3

Divide by 0.375:  0.375x/0.375 = 3/0.375

x = 8 feet

2(4x − 3) − 8 = 4 + 2x<br> steps
asambeis [7]

Answer:

X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x-3)-t=4+2x

multiply parentheses by 2

8x-6-8=4+2x

Calculate

8x-14=4+2x

Move terms

8x-2x=4+14

Calculate the sum after collecting like terms

6x=18

Divide both sides by 6

x=3

What's the error? Jerry says that a cube with edges that measure 10 cm has a volume that is twice as much as a cube with sides t
disa [49]
The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio. 

Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3 
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3

Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3

Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.

The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.

Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.
