Answer:

Ratio = \frac{1}{16} ----- Model length to Actual length

Ratio = \frac{1}{256} ----- Model Area to Actual Area

Explanation:

Given

Model Measurement:

Length = \frac{1}{2}\ in

Width = \frac{1}{6}\ in

Actual Measurement:

Length = \frac{2}{3}\ ft

Width = \frac{2}{9}\ ft

Solving (a): Ratio of actual length to model length

Convert length from feet to inches

Length = \frac{2}{3}\ ft

Length = \frac{2}{3}\ * 12in

Length = \frac{24\ in}{3}

Length = 8\ in

The required ratio is calculated by dividing the model length by the actual length

Ratio = \frac{Model}{Actual}

Ratio = \frac{1}{2}\ in/8\ in

Ratio = \frac{1}{2}/8

Ratio = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{8}

Ratio = \frac{1}{16}

Another possible way is to convert both measurement to a different unit:

Convert model length from inches to cm

Length = \frac{1}{2}\ in

Model\ Length = \frac{1}{2} * 2.54cm

Model\ Length = \frac{1 * 2.54cm}{2}

Model\ Length = \frac{2.54cm}{2}

Model\ Length = 1.27 cm

Convert actual length from ft to cm

Length = \frac{2}{3}\ ft

Actual\ Length = \frac{2}{3} * 30.48cm

Actual\ Length = \frac{2 * 30.48cm}{3}

Actual\ Length = \frac{60.96cm}{3}

Actual\ Length = 20.32cm

Then calculate the ratio as:

Ratio = \frac{Model}{Actual}

Ratio = \frac{1.27cm}{20.32cm}

Ratio = \frac{1.27}{20.32}

Simplify fraction

Ratio = \frac{1.27/1.27}{20.32/1.27}

Ratio = \frac{1}{16}

Solving (b): Model of Area;

Way 1:

In (a), we calculated the ratio of length to be:

Ratio = \frac{1}{16}

This is also the model of the width.

So, Ratio of Area is then calculated as:

Ratio = \frac{1}{16}^2

Ratio = \frac{1}{256}

Way (2): We calculate the actual area of the model and actual measurements.

Model Measurements

Length = \frac{1}{2}\ in

Width = \frac{1}{6}\ in

Area = Length * Width

Area = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{6} in^2

Area = \frac{1}{12}\ in^2

Actual Measurements

Length = \frac{2}{3}\ ft

Width = \frac{2}{9}\ ft

Area = Length * Width

Area = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{2}{9} ft^2

Area = \frac{4}{27} ft^2

Convert to in^2

Area = \frac{4}{27} * 144in^2

Area = \frac{4}{3} * 16in^2

Area = \frac{64}{3}in^2

Ratio is then calculated as:

Ratio = \frac{Model}{Actual}

Ratio = \frac{1}{12}/\frac{64}{3}

Ratio = \frac{1}{12} * \frac{3}{64}

Ratio = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{64}

Ratio = \frac{1}{256}

At an all-way stop, when it comes to right-of-way, "first in, first out" means _____.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Yield to any road users who arrived before you",

We can apply this to the road situation. When we are in a situation  of a four-way stop with no traffic light, the first car that arrives at the intersection has "the right of way" or he has the priority to go first. The location of the cars or their direction don't have any importance; the car that arrives first at the intersection has the priority to go first ( first in, first out).

Reptile [31]

How long was each sprinkler used is 30 hours.

<h3>How long was each sprinkler used </h3>

Let x represent  how long each sprinkler was used

Hence:

40(x)+15(55-x)=1575

40x+825-15x=1575

Collect like terms

40x+-15x=1575-825

25x=750

Divide both side by 25x

x=750/25

x=30 hours

Therefore the Jenkins used the sprinklers for 30 hours while Green's used it  for 25.

The complete question is:

The Jenkins family and the Moore family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Jenkins family's sprinkler was 40l per hour. The water output rate for the Moore family's sprinkler was per 15l hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, resulting in a total water output 1575 of .
