Answer:
<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.
A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.
The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.
The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.
I posted what I have in the other post it's same question
For direct variation y varies directly with x, then we use equation y = kx
Where k is the constant of proportionality
Given: Y equals 2 when X equals 3
We plug in 3 for x and 2 for y and solve for k
y = kx
2 = k(3)
Divide both sides by 3

Now we plug in 2/3 for k

Given x=-0.5 and find out y

y=-0.33
the value of y is -0.33 when x=-0.5
The answer to your question is 3.666
