Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Below is the rectangle in the attachment.
Current scale:
1 cm : 6 inches
If the dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 6 inches
Width = b × 6 inches
Using the same dimensions of the rectangle is:
Length = a cm
Width = b cm
Using the scale:
Length = a × 12 inches
Width = b × 12 inches
Note that there is an enlargement of the rectangle to form the new rectangle. The length and width of new rectangle drawn will be 2 × the length and width of the rectangle seen below.
21
18=0.86x - 0.09 Put 18 as the y value and solve for x
18.09=0.86x Add 0.09 on both sides.
21.03=x Then divide on both sides by 086
(1/3) of (14-1/3) = (1/3) x (43/3) = (43/9) = about <em>(4 and 7/9) gallons</em>.
