Answer:
3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"
That means you must put 2/15.
2 being the model
15 being the actual statue
Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.
Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.
In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.
The answer is X=7.5
1 : 7.5
Let x = the amount that Seini earned
Then x + 25 = the amount that Gavin
The amount Gavin earned would also = 425 - x (your directions asked you to have 2 equations.)
Together they earned 425:
x + (x + 25) = 425
2x + 25 = 425
2x = 400
Now divide both sides by 2 to find x.
Use all of this data to satisfy the directions.
First we have to convert 60 feet to inches. since there are 12 inches in a foot we will multiply by 12
60×12=720
since the real thing is 720 inches and the scale drawing is 15 inches we can make a ratio
720:15
then simpliy
48:1
would be your answer. It means that for every 48 inches it is in real life the scale drawing will be one inch
