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.
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 
or x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem because two right triangles are formed.
c² = a² + b²
c = 10
a = x
b = x Because in a square all the sides measure the same.
10² = x² + x²
- Simplify
100 = 2x²
x² = 100/2
x² = 50
x = or x = 5
Answer:
186 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Miles per hour means miles divided by hour(s), so 558/3 is 186 miles per hour.
Answer:
These are confusing Beth , b/c you have to remember that they will add to 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
so
green = 3* yellow
100% = green + yellow + 35% + 25%
100% = 3* yellow + yellow +60%
40% = 4* yellow
10% = yellow
30% = green
there are 14 purples in the bag , which is 35% of total
14/.35 = 40
there are a total of 40 pins
so
4 are yellow (10% of 40 or 40* 0.1)
12 are green (30% of 40 or 40*0.3)
14 are purple (35% of 40 or 40*0.35)
10 are grey (25% of 40 or 40*0.25 )

Answer:
f(x)=-3x+4
(can't see some of your choices)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want x to be independent means we want to write it so when we plug in numbers we can just choose what we want to plug in for x but y's value will depend on our choosing of x.
So we need to solve for y.
9x+3y=12
Subtract 9x on both sides
3y=-9x+12
Divide both sides by 3:
y=-3x+4
Replace y with f(x).
f(x)=-3x+4
