8 0

Basically the real one is 80 times the picture
80 times 3/4=80/1 times 3/4=240/4=60in=5ft
it is 5ft long or 60in

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if you mean rounding, I got an answer.

Say you're rounding 24 to 30.
24 is closer to 20 than 30.

But if you were rounding 25 to 30, 25 would be closer to 30, not 20.
I guess it's kind of confusing.

Answer:

Answer is option b)

Answer is given below with explanations.

Step-by-step explanation:

$a \: walking \: path \: is \: represented \: by \: \\ y = - 4x - 6 \\ 4x + y + 6 = 0 \\ given \: that \\ a \: new \: path \: will \: be \: built \: perpendicular \\ \: to \: \: the \: walking \: path \\ the \: equation \: of \: the \: line \: perpendicular \: to \\ 4x + y + 6 = 0 \: is \\ x - 4y + k = 0 \\ since \: it \: passes \: through \: ( - 4,10) \\ substitute \: x \: = - 4\: and \: y = 10 \: in \: required \: equation \\ - 4 - 4(10) + k = 0 \\ k = 44 \\ then \: the \: equation \: is \\ x - 4y + 44 = 0 \\ adding \: 4y \: on \: both \: sides \\ x + 44 = 4y \\ dividing \: by \: 4 \: on \: both \: sides \\ y = \frac{x}{4} + 11 \\ y = \frac{1}{4} x + 11 \\ so \: the \: answer \: is \: option \: b) \: \frac{1}{4} x + 11$
