To determine the number of cubes he needs to fill the box (this is assuming the cubes are 1 in cubes, he would need to calculate the volume of the box. To find the volume he would multiply the length by the width by the height. This would be 5 in x 6 in x 7 in. The volume is 210 cubic inches, so he could fill it with 210 one inch cubes.
The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
Lesson 18: Computing Actual Lengths from a Scale Drawing.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
<h3>Find</h3>
- Solve for x
- Find x when p = -5
<h3>Solution</h3>
- 4(px + 1) = 64
- 4(px + 1)/4 = 64/4
- px + 1 = 16
- px = 15
- x = 15/p
<u>When p = -5, substitute p:</u>
Answer:
Slope = 46.000/2.000 = 23.000
x-intercept = 6/23 = 0.26087
y-intercept = -6/1 = -6.00000
3x - x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 10
combine like terms on the left, then add or subtract as asked
(3x - x + 5x) + (8 - 2) = 10
7x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
7x = 4
divide both sides by 7
x = 4/7
Hope this helps! :)
