Answer:
<em>(a) 3 inches
</em>
<em>(b) Her scale model drawing WILL fit on the piece of paper 8.5 by 7 inches</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling
</u>
We use scales to represent realities in reduced spaces. In the case of lengths or surfaces, the scale allows us to draw the shapes in normal sheets of paper.
(a)
Kelly's rock garden has a length of 6 feet. She uses a 1 inch:2 feet scale. this means that the model length is
6 feet*1 inch/2 feet = 3 inches
(b)
The width of the model is 5 inches, keeping the same scale it means the real length is
5 inches * 2 feet / 1 inch = 10 feet
The model will have 3 inches by 5 inches, it perfectly fits on any regular piece of paper
To multiply two fractions, you simply multiply numerators and denominators together.
2 can be read as the fraction 2/1
So, the multiplication is
0.625 dozen
1/12 x 7.5
= 0.625
The answer is -2x+11 for sure is the answer
