Answer:
B) 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale is 1 in. model : 6 ft real.
6/1 = 6
To go from model size to real size, multiply the model size by 6 and change from inches to feet.
3 in. model = 3 × 6 ft = 18 ft
Answer:
- 1 inch : 250 miles
- 1/15,840,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Map scale factors are usually written a couple of different ways. One of them is the number of miles represented by 1 inch. Here, that is ...
1750 mi/(7 in) = 250 mi/in
Written that way, the scale factor is 1 in : 250 miles.
__
The other way the scale factor can be written is as a unitless ratio. That ratio is ...
The map scale factor is 1 in : 250 miles, or 1/15,840,000.
To solve, you make a systems of equation:
x+(x+3)=25, the x representing the number of pigs. Since there is no multiplication and following the order of operations, you add the x’s to get 2x+3=25. Then, you subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x=22, then divide by 2 on both sides to isolate the variable. Therefore, x=11 and Mary is taking care of 11 pigs.
