A scale drawing is an enlarged or reduced drawing of an object that is similar to an actual object. Maps and floor plans are smaller than the actual size. A scale drawing of a human cell is larger than the actual size.

On a map, the equal sign in 1 in. = 30 mi does not mean that the two quantities are equal, as it would in an equation.

A scale is the ratio that compares a length in a drawing to the corresponding length in the actual object. If a 30-mile road is 1 in. long on a map, you can write the scale of the map in these three ways:

When rolling a number cube numbered 1 to 6, how would you describe the chances of rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 ve
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A. more likely to roll a number greater than or equal to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the probabilities for each:

Greater than or equal to 3:

You can roll a 3, 4, 5, or 6

Less than 3:

You can roll a 1 or a 2.

To find probability, divide how many ways there are to get what you want by the number of total ways to get something at all.

For freater than or equal to 3:

You can roll a 3, 4, 5, or 6 to fulfill this, so 4 things that you want.

You could roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 on this number cube, so 6 possibilities.

Divide 4 by 6, and you get 2/3.

For less than 3:

You can roll a 1 or a 2 to fulfill this, so 2 things you want.

Divide by 6 (again) total possibilities, and you get 1/3.

2/3 is more than 1/3, so the first possibility is more likely than the second.

Ber [7]
It is true that t<span>he more surface area an ice cube has, the more quickly it melts to cool a beverage. By making the length of the prism shorter by 1 and the height longer by 2, the resulting prism will look like a 2D object floating on the beverage. Thus, it will cool it faster.

The correct answer is: </span>1 by 2 by 4 or 1 x 2 x 4
