Answer:
Part (a):
The scale factor is: 5/140 = 1/28
Part (b):
The actual height of the tree is: 42 ft

Explanation:
Part (a):
The scale factor means the ratio between the actual length and the drawn length. In other words, scale factor is used to tell you how long a unit measurement in your drawing represents in reality.
To find the scale factor, you have to divide the drawn length by the actual length and simplify.
From the given, we have:
drawn length = 5 inches
actual length = 140 inches
Dividing both numbers, we get:
scale factor = 5/140 = 1/28
This means that each 1 inch in the drawing represents 28 inches of the actual length

Part (b):
I have explained what a scale factor is in part (a). Here, we are given that the scale factor is:
1 in : 6 ft
This means that 1 inch on the drawing is used to represent 6 ft in reality.
We are given that the tree is 7 inches on the drawing, so to get the actual length, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 in : 6 ft
7 in : ??
actual height = (7*6) / 1 = 42 ft

Hope this helps :)

On Saturday, many tickets for a hockey game were sold. Children and adult tickets were sold in the ratio of 4:7. There are 88 ti
Illusion [34]

Answer:

49 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

THis is pretty straight forward

So we have the ratio 4:7

We know there were 88 tickets in total but we don’t know the exact amount of adult and kids

So we can Add up the ratio

4+7=11

Now we can divide 88 by 11

you’ll get 7

So by doing this we know there are 7 groups of the ratio for child to adults 4:7

So we just multiply the 7 to each

4*7

7*7

you’ll get 28:49

Now we know there are 28 kid tickets and 49 adult tickets

We know this is correct becuase if you add up the ratio, it’ll be 88

Which is the same as the amount fo people at the hockey game

Family traveled 25 miles in 1/2 hour. If it’s currently 3:00 pm and the destination is 225 miles away, what time will they arriv
dangina [55]

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the speed first to find the time it will take the family to complete the trip.

Given

Distance = d = 25 miles

Time = t = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours

Speed =\frac{d}{t}\\=\frac{25}{0.5}\\=50 miles\ per\ hour

Now,

Distance remaining = 225 miles

Speed = 50 miles per hour

s=\frac{d}{t}\\t=\frac{d}{s}\\t=\frac{225}{50}\\t=4.5\ hours

As we see that the time required to complete the journey is 4.5 hours.

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM
