X=4 , I believe this is the right answer
Answer:
- (b) Her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches because the dimensions are not proportional to the scale.
Explanation:
(a) What is the length of the garden in her model? Show your work, including your proportion
<u>1. Scale</u>:
- model length / real length = 1 inch / 2 feet
<u>2. Proportion</u>:
Naming x the model length:
- 1 inch / 2 feet = x / 6 feet
Cross multiply:
- 1 inch × 6 feet = 2 feet × x
Divide both sides by x:
- x = 1 inch × 6 feet / 2 feet = 3 inch.
Answer: 3 inches
(b) If the width is 5 inches for the scale model and the scale is still 1 inch to 2 feet, will her scale model drawing fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches? Why or why not?
Both the width and the length must use the same scale, thus the corresponding sides of the scale model and the drawing must be proportional.
In the model the ratio of the length to the width is 3 inch / 5 inch
In the paper the ratio of the length to the width is 8.5 inch / 7 inch
Hence, you can see that in the model the length (mumerator of the fraction) is less than the width (denominator) while in the paper it is the opposite. Bieng the two ratios different, they are not proportional, and you conclude that her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches.
<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>
Answer:
ima guess $262.50
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do the first 2 and 6, and I challenge you to do the other three on your own!
For 1, from some guess and check we can figure out that 5*5=25. Since 5 is a prime number, that's it!
For 2, we can figure out that 7*7=49 and 7 is a prime number, so we're good there.
From 6, we can do some guess and check to figure out that 2*24=48, 2*12=24, 2*6=12, and 2*3=6, resulting in 2*2*2*2*3=48 since 2 and 3 are prime numbers. We found out, for example, to find 2*12 due to that if 2*24=48, 2*24 is our current factorization. By finding 2*12=24, we can switch it to 2*2*12
