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:

Find ten rational numbers between -1 by 5 and 1 by 2

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First both the rational numbers should have same denominators. So, find least common denominator

Least common denominator is 10

$\frac{-1}{5}=\frac{-1*2}{5*2}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*5}{2*5}=\frac{5}{10}\\\\\\$

Now multiply the numerator and denominators of the both the numbers by 10.

$\frac{-2*10}{10*10}= \frac{-20}{100} \ and \ \frac{5*10}{10*10}=\frac{50}{100}\\\\\\Now\ 10 \ rational \ numbers \ between\frac{-20}{10} \ and \ \frac{50}{100} \ is \\\\\\\frac{-19}{100},\frac{-18}{100},\frac{-17}{100},\frac{-16}{100}.\frac{-15}{100},\frac{-14}{100},\frac{-13}{100},\frac{-12}{100},\frac{-11}{100};\frac{-10}{100}$
