Alright, lets get started.

An actual fly is about .2 inches long.

The model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long.

Converting 27 feet into inches, it will be = 27*12 = 324 inches

So, lets first find the scale factor, so

scale factor will be = \frac{324}{0.2}

So, scale factor will be = 1620

It means from the original size, the model fly is scaled to 1620 times.

The actual fly has a wingspan of about .5 inches.

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 0.5*1620

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 810 inches

Converting inches into feet,

the model fly will have a wingspan = \frac{810}{12} = 67.5 feet

So, the wingspan will be 67.5 feet.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio of 5:7:8. Find the measure of each angle.
hammer [34]
In a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180°

5x + 7x + 8x = 180
20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9

m∠1 = 5x = 5*9 = 45°

m∠2 = 7x = 7*9 = 63°

m∠3 = 8x = 8*9 = 72°

Answer:
45°, 63° and 72°

agasfer [191]

14  and  15  have no common factor except ' 1 ' ,
so the fraction  14/15  can't be simplified.

It's already in the simplest available form ("lowest terms").
