We are given a scale that for every 1 in on the plan, the actual length will 6.5 ft.
The maximum distance across the pond on the plan is 9.75 in. So that means we will need to take 6.5 ft 9.75 times. So our answer is
6.5*9.75=63.375 ft. That's the answer.
We can visualize this a different way
1 in = 6.5 ft
9.75 in = x ft
And from here it's a little more clear to see what needs to be done.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
The answer is 1/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation a-b=2, we can solve that a = 2+b.
We can then <u>substitute that into the expression</u> given to get 3^b/3^(2+b).
Since <u>they have the same base, we can subtract the exponents from the numerator and denominator</u> to get 3^(b-2-b) which <em>simplifies to 3^-2.</em>
3^-2 is simply 1/9.
The scale is 1: .25 which could also be seen as 4:1 so the big triangle is 4 times as big as the smaller one. The big one is 8 so divide that by 4 to get our answer which is 2
