Answer:
D. 1/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Actual tree = 10 ft = 12 × 10 = 120 in.
Model tree = 8 in.
Scale factor = model tree/actual tree
Scale factor = 8/120
Scale factor = 1/15
The volumes will be the same, because the heights are equal and the cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the bases are also equal.
D. Three less than five times the quantity of a number plus two.
