Answer: Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lisa's height = $53\dfrac34\text{ inches}=\dfrac{4\times53+3}{4}\text{ inches}$

$=\dfrac{215}{4}\text{ inches}$

Joey's height = $\dfrac{215}4-1\dfrac12$ inches

$=\dfrac{215}4-\dfrac32\\\\=\dfrac{215-6}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{209}{4}\text{ inches}$

Jane's height = $\dfrac{209}{4}-1\dfrac15$ inches

$=\dfrac{209}{4}-\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{209\times5-6\times4}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1045-24}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1021}{20}\\\\=51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Hence, Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

This diagram of a rectangular city park was drawn using a scale of 1 centimeter to 20 meters

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Scale factor for the drawing from actual park = $\frac{1}{20}$

Area of the actual park = 1200 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular city park = 5 cm

Width of the rectangular park = 6 cm

Using scale factor 1 cm = 20 meters

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{length of the park in drawing}}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{20}$

$\frac{5}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{20}$

Actual length = 5 × 20 = 100 meters

Actual width = 6 × 20 = 120 meters

Area of the rectangular park = length × width

= 100 × 120

= 1200 square meters

Therefore, Scale factor from actual length to the length in drawing = 1 : 20

Area of the rectangular park = 1200 square feet

Answer:

The answer is 9/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Indices Law,

${( \frac{a}{b}) }^{n} ⇒ \frac{ {a}^{n} }{ {b}^{n} }$

So for this question :

${ (\frac{3}{4}) }^{2}$

$= \frac{ {3}^{2} }{ {4}^{2} }$

$= \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 4}$

$= \frac{9}{16}$
