The correct answer to this question is B.
The next greater tenth is 14.7
The next smaller tenth is 14.5
Neither of them is nearer to 14.6 than 14.6 already is.
So 14.6 is already the nearest tenth.
What value of x makes the equations true? show work
Answer: actual length = 45 ft
Explanation:
Scale drawn:
1/2 inch = 5ft
Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.
If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:
1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x
=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45
Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft
