How far would the cheetah have traveled in the first eight minutes? show how you arrived at your answer
Answer: The correct answer is C,
5 1/2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Alexis' scale drawing represents the longest side of the storage bin as 2 3/4 inches. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. This is also 2.75 inches.
The scale used is 1/2 inch = 1 feet. This means that a length of 1 feet of the longest side of the actual storage bin is 1/2 inch on the drawing.
Let the actual length, in feet of the longest side of the storage bin be x feet. Therefore
If 0.5 inch = 1 feet
2.75 inch = x
0.5x = 2.75 × 1
x = 2.75/0.5 = 5.5 feet
46. 6*3=18 hence x=9*3=27 (ratio is 3:1)
47. x=8 clearly 2:1 ratio.
48.ratio is 1/3 hence, x=9/3=3
49.7:1 ratio. so, x=70
I hope you got the hang of it. so do the last two yourself.
Total area = area rectangle + area of the triangle
= 8 * 13 + 0.5* 6 * (14-8)
= 122 unit^2
