Kadeem is making two drawings of an oak leaf. The dimensions of the first drawing will be 1/3 the dimensions of the leaf. The di
mensions of the second drawing will be 2 1/2 the dimensions of the leaf. If the oak leaf is 5 1/2 inches, will the length of each drawing be equal to, greater then, or less than 5 1/2 inches?
The dimensions of the first drawing will be 1/3 the dimensions of the leaf and the dimension of the oak leaf is 5 1/2 inches. Therefore, the dimensions of the 1st leaf:
= 1/3 × 5 1/2
= 1/3 × 11/2
= 11/6
= 1 5/6 inches
This is less than 5 1/2 inches
The dimensions of the second drawing will be 2 1/2 the dimensions of the leaf. This will be:
