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:

The area of a rectangular garden is 38 1/4 square meters the width of the garden is 4 1/2 meters what is the length of the garde
Snowcat [4.5K]

Hello...

Area is measured by the formula A=L*W (Area = Length X Width)  We know the area is 38 1/4 and the width is 4 1/2. It is easiest to convert them to decimals and solve. 38 1/4 = 38.25 and 4 1/2= 4.5 .    so, 38.25 = 4.5 * W

To solve for Width, we need to isolate it by getting 4.5 on the other side. To do this, we divide by 4.5 on both sides of the equals sign. this will give us W=8.5 or Width = 8 1/2 meters.

-x - 9 \geq 5

You want to get x by itself.

First subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

-x - 9 \geq 5
    +9                 +9

-x \geq 14

Then divide -1 on both sides.

-x/-1 \geq 14/-1

I'm pretty sure when you divide a negative number when solving inequalities, you switch the sign.

x \leq 5

In the literal equation below, what do C and F represent?<br> F = C + 32
ladessa [460]

Hi!

Let's take a look at the equation:

F = C + 32

What do we notice?

C and F are both variables.

Variables are unknown numbers represented by a letter.

In this case, C and F are the variables.

Hope this helps!
