Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

AB : DE = BC : EC

x : (18- x) = 5 : 25

25x = 5(18 - x)

25x = 90 - 5x

30 x =90

x = 90/30 = 3

A scale drawing has a scale of 1/4in:12ft. Find the length on the drawing for each actual length. 15 ft.

leonid [27]

So the ratio is at ¼ : 12, namely the drawing has ¼ inch to an actual 12 feet.

so, what would it be for an actual 15 feet on the drawing then?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{inches}{drawing}&\stackrel{feet}{actual}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{4}&12\\\\
d&15
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{4}\quad }{d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{4}\quad }{\frac{d}{1}}=\cfrac{12}{15}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies \cfrac{1}{4d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies 15=48d\implies \cfrac{15}{48}=d\implies \cfrac{5}{16}=d$

because the symbol is a less than sign < the blue area needs to be below the red line and does not include the solution to Y ( if it included Y it would be a ≤ symbol.
When the solution isn't included, it is a dashed line.
so the answer would be D
