 Assuming the life sized dolphin is 12 ft long, what we want to know is what factor do you multiply 12 ft by to get 3.5 inches so converting this to an equation gives: 12*f=3.5 solving for f gives f=3.5/12=.29166...The units on the factor are inches/foot.

        So to get the size if anything linear in the small scale you just multiply it's dimension in the full scale by f.

Which shows the proper use of the distributive property
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

-2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the distributive property, you start by multiplying -2 and 6x which gets you -12x. You then multiply -2 and -y (in other words -y = -1y) so, -2* -y would get you 2 as a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. So, adding them together would get your final answer: -2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y
