the scale in a drawing is 2 in.:8 ft. On the drawing, a rolm is 3 inches long. What is the length in feet of the actual room?

I believe the length of the actual room would be 12 ft.

To figure this out, first find how many feet one inch represents.
8/2, or 4 feet. <
Then, we have 3 inches. Since 1 inch represents 4 feet, 3 inches must represent 12 feet, as 3*4=12.

Hope this helped! :)

2 in: 8 ft simplifies to 1 in: 4 ft which is just generally easier to work with.

1 in: 4 ft = 3 in: x ft

x ft= 4*3 = 12

The length of the actual room is 12 feet.

Hope this helps!

Ok so you know the first garden needs 1 and 2/5 bags of soil. Now first we need to find one fifth of that. So let's make this mied number into an improper fraction:

1 2/5 = 7/5

Ok now let's divide 7/5 by 5:

7/5 divided by 5/1 = 7/25

So Jared will need 7/25 bags of soil for his second garden, but we're STILL not done. now we have to add for the TOTAL.

1 2/5 + 7/25 > 7/5 + 7/25 > 7 x 5 = 35 > 35/25 + 7/25 = 42/25
_________
5x 5 = 25

Now let's simplify it to 1 and 17/25

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line parallel to 5y = 2x + 20 that goes through (-1, 3).

poizon [28]

The first thing I'll do is solve "5y = 2x + 20" for "y=", so that I can find my reference slope:

y = (2/5)x + 4;

So the reference slope from the reference line is m = 2/5;.

Now I need to find two new slopes, and use them with the point they've given me; namely, with the point (-1, 3). They want me to find the line through (4, –1) that is parallel to 5y = 2x + 20; that is, through the given point, they want me to find a line that has the same slope as the reference line.

Since a parallel line has an identical slope, then the parallel line through (-1, 3) will have slope m = 2/5. Now I have a point and a slope! So I'll use the point-slope form to find the line: y - 3 = (2/5)( x + 1);

Finally, y = (2/5)x + 17/5;
