Carla made a scale drawing of a classroom. The length of the classroom in the drawing is 5in. The actual length is 40ft. What scale did Carla use for her drawing?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

1/96

Step-by-step explanation:

scale is

a model cannot be as same size as that of actual object ,

hence objects are scales down to some value so that its model can be comfortably made.

scale is generally ratio of length  of drawing and actual length of object

scale = length  of drawing / actual length of object.

Given

length of classroom drawing = 5in

actual length of classroom = 40 ft

as unit of drawing and actual classroom is different lets make unit of class smilar to that of drawing that is in inches

we know

1 feet = 12 inches

thus 40 feet = 12*40 inches = 480 inches

thus,

actual length of classroom in inches = 480 inches

scale used by Carla = length  of drawing / actual length of classroom

                                = 5 inches/480 inches = 1/96 (answer)

Lamont's buys 9 gallons of ice cream. He has 34 guests coming. If each guest eats 2 1/2 cups, how many pints will he have left?

Answers

We know that 1 gallon is equal to 16 cups.
So 9 gallons is 144 cups.
each guest eats 2.5 cups, and there are 34 guests,
2.5 times 34 = 85, the amount eaten by the guests.
So to figure out whats left, subtract the eaten from the total.
144-85=59
59 is the answer.

BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT PLEASE USE WORK!What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation 1/3x+y=−15 ?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

y-ordinate of x-intercept is 0 .Putting y = 0 in the equation we get 1 3 x + 0 = − 15 or 1 3 x = − 15 or x = − ( 3 ⋅ 15 ) = − 45 ∴ x=intercept is ( − 45 , 0 ) graph{-1/3x-15 [-80, 80, -40, 40]}[Ans]


Hope this helped.

Your answer:

x-intercept is ( -45 , 0 )

Answer:


To find the x-intercept, substitute in  0  for  y  and solve for  x. To find the y-intercept, substitute in  0  for  x  and solve for  y.

x-intercept: (−45,0)

y-intercept:  (0,−15)

A camera manufacturer spends $1,800 each day for overhead expenses plus $9 per camera for labor and materials. The cameras sell for $18each. a. How many cameras must the company sell in one day to equal its daily costs? b. If the manufacturer can increase production by 50
cameras per day, what would their daily profit be?

Answers

Amount of money spent per day = $1800

Cost of overhead expenses per day for labor and materials = $9

Selling price of each camera = $18

a. Let us assume the number of cameras manufactured per day = x dollars

Then

Cost of cameras sold in 1 day = 18x

So

18x = 1800 + 9x

18x - 9x = 1800

9x = 1800

x = 200

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the number cameras sold per day is 200

b. Daily selling amount of 250 cameras = 250 * 18

                                                              = 4500 dollars

Daily manufacturing price of 250 cameras = 1800 + (9 * 250)

                                                                   = 4050 dollars

Then

Daily profit = 4500 - 4050

                 = 450 dollars
