Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat

  • The boat is 62 ft long
  • The boat is 23 ft wide
  • The model will be 14 in long

We need to find how wide should it be

∵ The boat is 62 feet long

∵ The model of the boat is 14 inches long

- That means 14 inches represents 62 feet

By using the ratio method

→ Actual (ft)    :    Model (in)

→ 62               :    14

→ 23               :     x

By using cross multiplication

∵ 62 × x = 23 × 14

∴ 62 x = 322

- Divide both sides by 62 to find x

∴ x ≅ 5.194

∵ x represents the wide of the model

∴ The wide of the model is approximately 5.194 inches

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

How to justify a/b x b/c = a/c?

Answers

a/b times b/c is = ab/bc
which can be written as a/c times b/b
anything over itself is 1 so b/b is one
a/b times b/c = a/c
well a/b * b/c = ab/bc, and since b/b= 1 you get 1a/c or just a/c :)

Carl has 200 songs on his MP3 player of these songs 24 are country songs what is the percent of country songs he has

Answers

It would be 12 songs.

Divide 24 by 200.

24÷200=0.12

Multiply by 100 because percentages are out of 100.

0.12×100= 12

12%
200 \ songs, 24 \ country \ songs \n\ \frac {24}{200} = Percent \ Of \ Country \ Songs \n\ (24)/(200) --\ \textgreater \ (12)/(100) \n\ 12 \%
