Let x represent the height of the model.
We have been given that a construction company built a scale model of a building. The model was built using a scale of 3 inches = 32 feet. We are asked to find the height of the model, if the building is expected to be 200 feet tall.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:
Upon substituting our given values, we will get:
Therefore, the model will be 18.75 inches tall.
Answer:
h=2 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 3/4+1/2=
you can convert 1/2 into 2/4 so they have like denominators
2 3/4+2/4= 2 5/4 which is also equal to 3 1/4
Answer:
350 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
So,
The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.
5:7 = 12 units total
To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a
Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a
The value of each unit is 50.
Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys
50(7) = x
350 = x
There are 350 girls.
Length (L): 2w + 6
width (w): w
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)
240 = 4w + 12 + 2w
240 = 6w + 12
228 = 6w
38 = w
Length (L): 2w + 6 = 2(38) + 6 = 76 + 6 = 82
Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
