Answer:
SAT
Step-by-step explanation:
The two main college entrance exams are the SAT and ACT which are used for almost all colleges in the United States. Between these two the SAT has a lesser focus on math in general. Instead, the SAT tends to focus more on word problems and the process taken to solve them. This does not mean that it has no math at all, there is still a math section on the SAT's but it is not as extensive as in the ACT's.
What exactly are you finding
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
As a part of city building refurbishment project, architects have constructed a scale model of several city builidings to present to the city commission for approval. The scale of the model is 1 inch = 9 feet.
The model includes a new park in the center of the city. If the dimensions of the park in the model are 9 inches by 17 inches, what are the actual dimensions of the park?
Answer: 81 feet by 153 feet
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Unit</u> <u>Scale</u> is a ratio comparing actual dimensions of an object to the dimensions of model representing the actual object.
In the refurbishment project, the unit scale is given by
1 inch = 9 feet
So, the dimensions of the new park in actual dimensions would be
1 inch = 9 feet
9 inches = x
x = 9.9
x = 81 feet
1 inch = 9 feet
17 inches = y
y = 17.9
y = 153 feet
The actual dimensions of the new park are 81 feet by 153 feet.
Answer:Alden is 13 years old
Step-by-step explanation
Let x represent Alden's age.
Let y represent the age of his sister.
Let z represent the age of his second sister.
His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that
y = x + 5
y = 3z
Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is
z - 4
His brother is 2. It means that
z - 4 = 2
z = 2 + 4 = 6
y = 3z
y = 3 × 6 = 18
Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes
18 = x + 5
x = 18 - 5 = 13
No solution
because a number can not be less than and greater than the same number.
