Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a tile with length 1/4 in. and width 1/6 in while the actual tile has length 1/6 ft. and width 1/9 ft.

Firstly we have to convert the model length and width from inches to feet.

1 feet = 12 inches

model length =  1/4 in. = 1/4 in * (1/12) ft./in = 1/48 ft.

model width =  1/6 in. = 1/6 in * (1/12) ft./in = 1/72 ft.

Therefore:

Ratio of model length to actual length of tile = (1/48 ft.) / (1/6 ft.) = 1 / 8

Ratio of model length to actual length of tile = (1/72 ft.) / (1/9 ft.) = 1 / 8

Area of model tile = length * width = 1/48 ft. * 1/72 ft. = 1/3456 ft²

Area of actual tile = length * width = 1/6 ft. * 1/9 ft. = 1/54 ft²

Ratio of model area to actual area of tile = (1/3456 ft²) / (1/54 ft²) = 1 / 64

Write the first 4 terms of the sequence defined by the given rule f(n)=n2 -1
Softa [21]

Answer:

<h2>0, 3, 8, 15</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n = 1, n = 2, n = 3 and n = 4 to the equation f(n) = n² - 1:

f(1) = 1² - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0

f(2) = 2² - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

f(3) = 3² - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

f(4) = 4² - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Sharon paid $78 sales tax on a new camera. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what was the cost of the camera?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 = 6.5%

This means that if you divide 78 by 6.5, you get the equivalent of 1% of the price:

78 ÷ 6.5 = 12

So 1% = 12

Now simply multiply this by 100 to get the full answer:

12 x 100 = 1200

So the camera cost $1200!
