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

Answer choices:
vova2212 [387]
A and T are points. On their own, they cannot define a line. So we can rule out choice A

WCR and TRA are angles. For any triple the points do not fall on the same straight line. So we cannot define any lines here. This crosses off choice B

Choice C is the answer because WC does define a line. We only need two points to form a line. Similarly CR does the same job. We draw a line marker with two arrows at each end to be placed over the letters to indicate "line". 

Choice D is similar to choice D; however, it is not the answer because WT is the same line as WC. In other words, WC = WT. We haven't named a new line at all. We're simply repeating ourselves.

Three friends go to the movies and spend a total of $75.00. Each friend bought a ticket and a small popcorn that cost $8.25 how
Basile [38]

Answer:

16.75 Dollars for each Ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

They are three friends so the total money they spent is 75 Dollars so a popcorn costs 8.25 EACH friend so

8.25 x 3

= 24.75

24.75 dollars was spent on the 3 popcorns.

Subtract the total money spent and the total money spent on the 3 popcorns so

75. 00 - 24.75

= 50.25

50.25 dollars were totally spent on the tickets but we're looking for each ticket so divide it by 3.

50.25/3

= 16.75

16.75 dollars each were spent on each ticket.
