A scale drawing of a pool has scale of 1 in :4 ft. If the actual pool is 16 ft wide, how is the pool represented in the drawing

Mathematics

Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool in the drawing be represented by x.

Since scale drawing of a pool has scale of 1 in :4 ft and the actual pool is 16 ft wide, this can be represented in an equation as:

1/4 = x/16

Cross multiply

4 × x = 1 × 16

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

Therefore, the pool representation in the drawing is 4 inches

15/9 =25/9x<br><br> I simplified it as much as I could but i'm stuck here:/
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We move all terms to the left: 15/9-(25/9x)=0 Domain of the equation: 9x)!=0 x!=0/1 x!=0 x∈R

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+25/9x)+15/9=0

We get rid of parentheses

-25/9x+15/9=0

We calculate fractions

=0 x=0/1 x=0

i hope helps you and if you want you can give me a brainly crown only if you want

6. 4x + 2y = 16<br> | 5x - 2y = 38
Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

 x-intercept = 8/2 = 4

 y-intercept = 8/1 = 8.00000

2.  Slope = 5.000/2.000 = 2.500

 x-intercept = 38/5 = 7.60000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1 = -19.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  4x + 2y - 16  =   2 • (2x + y - 8)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

2.2     Solve   2x+y-8  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x+y-8  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 8/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 8.00000

 y-intercept = 8/1  =  8.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 4/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 4.00000

 x-intercept = 8/2  =  4

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 8.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.000 - 8.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

 x-intercept = 8/2 = 4

 y-intercept = 8/1 = 8.00000

2.

Step  1  :

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   5x-2y-38  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  5x-2y-38  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 19/-1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-19.00000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1  = -19.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 38/5 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 7.60000

 x-intercept = 38/5  =  7.60000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -19.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -14.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -14.000 - (-19.000) = 5.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  5.000/2.000 =  2.500

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 5.000/2.000 = 2.500

 x-intercept = 38/5 = 7.60000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1 = -19.00000
