Answer:

The actual wingspan of the airplane is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The airplane has a wingspan of a feet and a tailspan of b feet. If the tailspan in the drawing is 2 inches, and a/b = 3, what is the actual wingspan of the airplane?

Scale: 1 inch = 5 feet

we know that

The scale drawing is

1\ inch = 5\ feet

That means

1 inch in the drawing represent 5 feet in the actual

we have

\frac{a}{b}=3 ----> equation A

b=2\ in

step 1

Find the value of a in the drawing

substitute the value of b in the equation A

\frac{a}{2}=3\\\\a=2(3)=6\ in

step 2

Find the actual value of a (wingspan)

Applying proportion with the scale drawing

\frac{1}{5}\ \frac{in}{ft} =\frac{6}{x}\ \frac{in}{ft}\\\\x=6(5)=30\ ft

therefore

The actual wingspan of the airplane is 30 feet

Match the expressions given in words with their values when m=6.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Value of expression 1 = 3

Value of expression 2 = 42

Value of expression 3 = 15

Value of expression 4 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression 1 : the sum of m and 3 divided by the  difference of m minus 3

Expression 1: \frac{m+3}{m-3}

Substitute m = 6

So, value of expression 1=\frac{6+3}{6-3}=3

Expression 2 : the sum of 3 times m and 4 times m

Expression 2: 3m+4m

Substitute m = 6

So, value of expression 2=3m+4m=3(6)+4(6)=42

Expression 3 : the difference of the product of 3 and m  minus the quotient of m divided by 2

Expression 3:3m-\frac{m}{2}

Substitute m = 6

So, value of expression 2= 3m-\frac{m}{2}=3(6)-\frac{6}{2}=15

Expression 4 :the quotient of 6 divided by the  difference of m minus 3

Expression 4:\frac{6}{m-3}

Substitute m = 6

So, value of expression 4=\frac{6}{m-3}=\frac{6}{6-3}=2
