Answer:

The actual height of the building is 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the scale model building is 15 inches.

Scale:

5 in = 32 in actual.

We can use the proportion.

Let "x" the actual height of the building.

Scale                          Actual

  5                                  32

  15                                  x

\frac{5}{15} = \frac{32}{x}

Cross multiplying, we get

5 times x = 15 times 32

5x = 480

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{480}{5}

x = 96 inches

Now we have to convert inches to feet

1 feet = 12 inches

To convert inches to feet, we need to divide 96 by 12

So, the height of the building is = \frac{96}{12} = 8 feet

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Step 2: 20x = 80 + 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: 20x - 10 = 80 + 10x

Add 10 to each side

20x - 10+10 = 80+10 + 10x

20x  = 90 + 10x

Step 2: 20x = 80 + 10x   This has the first error

Step 3: 10x = 80

Step 4: x= 8

Which number in the monomial 125x^18y^3z^25 needs to be changed to make it a perfect cube
Oksana_A [137]

Hi,

You just have to change z^25 to z^24 or z^27.

125x^{18}y^3z^{24}=(5x^6*y*z^8)^3
