Martin says the area of a tile with a length of 1 foot by a width of 1 foot has an area of 1 square foot. And, to find 1/2 of th
is area, he would need to find 1/2 of the width and 1/2 of the length, and then multiply those two values. Unfortunately, his method is incorrect. Show at least one equation to show why this method would not work, and briefly state a method that will find 1/2 of 1 square foot. I will mark brainliest if right really need help timed test.
Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).
To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.
15 / 3 = 5
This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.
