Tran planned a rectangular pool and made a scale drawing using centimeters as the unit of measurement. He originally planned for

the length of the pool to be 40 m but decided to change it to 32 m. If the length of the pool in his scale drawing is 8 cm, which statement about the change of scale is true?
One cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
One cm represented 40 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 32 m in the second scale.
One cm represented 1 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 ft in the second scale.
One cm represented 4 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 m in the second scale.

Answer:

One cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.

First of all, determine the old and new scale measurements.

Old drawing has the pool 40 m long and the scale drawing is 8 cm. So

40 m / 8 cm = 5 m/cm scale. (5 meters represented for each cm)

The new plan has the pool being 32 m long and the drawing still is showing 8 cm. So

32 m / 8 cm = 4 m/cm scale (4 meters represented for each cm)

Now look at the available choices and see which describes the situation.

One cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.

- This one matches what we calculated. So this is the correct choice.

One cm represented 40 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 32 m in the second scale.

- This is way off. With that scale, the pool in the old design would be 8 * 40 = 320 meters long and the new design would be 256 meters long. Both several times longer than a football field. That's not a pool, that's a small lake.

One cm represented 1 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 ft in the second scale.

- Wrong again. Where in the original question were any measurements made in feet?

One cm represented 4 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 m in the second scale.

- Also wrong, but slightly tricky. Just remember, the original plan was to have a pool of 40 meters length and the new plan was to have a pool of 32 meters length. Since the new plan is the smaller pool, the new scale is the smaller scale.

Explain why the graph below does not represent a direct variation. a. the line does not intercept the x-axis c. the line does no
Rama09 [41]

The graph is not a direct variation because the line does not go through the origin; option C.

<h3>What is a direct variation?</h3>

A direct variation is a relationship between two or more quantities in which as one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases. Similarly, if the other quantity decreases, the other decreases as well.

For the graph of a direct variation, the line must pass through the origin.

Therefore, the graph does not represent a direct variation because the line does not go through the origin.

In conclusion, direct variation involves a corresponding increase or decrease in two related quantities.

How do you write 527,519 in expanded from using exponents
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
527,519

= 500,000 + 20,000 + 7,000 + 500 + 10 + 9

= (5) * 100,000 + (2) * 10,000 + (7) * 1,000 + (5) * 100 + (1) * 10 + (9) * 1

= (5) * 10⁵ + (2) * 10⁴ + (7) * 10³ + (5) * 10² + (1) * 10¹ + (9) * 10⁰

levacccp [35]

Answer: 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pizzas sold that were pepperoni = 11

Total pizza sold = 20

Percentage of pizza that were pepperoni will be:

= Number of pepperoni pizzas/Total pizza sold × 100

= 11/20 × 100

= 11 × 5

= 55%
