Answer:

<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.

A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.

The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.

The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.

Which number line correctly shows –0.8 + 0.6? A number line going from negative 1.6 to positive 1.6. An arrow goes from negative
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Hi there, are you sure you didn't forget any parenthesis or signs? I can't find the right answer in the options, the one that would end up at -0.2 in the end I can edit my answer if you tell me some additional option or info about the expression I need to show on the number line

Step-by-step explanation:

which number line shows correctly -0.8 + 0.6?

well lets write it in words minus eight tenths plus six tenths\

so minus:

you go 0.8 units to the left from 0,

then plus:

you go 0.6 units right from -0.8, getting to -0.2

since there is no exact answer like that we can rearrange the addends 0.6-0.8, now:

we go from 0 6 tenths units to the right and get to 0.6, then we go from 0.6 eight tenths unit to the left to get to -0.2

-2|x-4|+7=-3 how do i solve this absolute value problem
ira [324]
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9

Tom has 7/8 gallons of paint. He used 1/2 gallon of paint on a project. He uses the steps to show how much paint he had when he
WINSTONCH [101]

He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
