John needs to make a scale drawing of his school building for art class. If the building is 256.25 meters long, and John scales it down using a ratio of 25 meters to 1 inch, how long will the building be in the sketch?My question is what do I start with first. Divide, multiply. and what numbers. My math is on line and I have not worked math problems in 30 years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Each 25 meter will be represented by a segment of 1 inch length. So for example a length of 250 meters, is drawn as 10 in on paper.

So first we need to know how many 25 meters are there in 256.25 meters, so we need to divide 256.25 meters by 25 meters which is 10.25.

This means we will draw 10.25 in.

-25=1/3n - 10 algebraic expression

Answers

-25=1/3n - 10

move -10 to the other side

sign changes from -10 to +10

-25+10=1/3n-10+10

-25+10=1/3n

-15=1/3n

multiply both sides by 3/1 to get n by itself

(-15)(3/1)=1/3n(3/1)

cross out 3 and 3 and 1 and 1, divide by 3 and 1

then becomes 1*1*1*1*n=n

(-15)(3/1)==45/1=-45

answer:

n=-45

Explain why you must simplify 3 to the second power first

Answers

Because you have to go in the order of PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. From what you are saying, 'why you must simplify 3 to the second power first' it seems that you have no parenthesis, so you move onto what is next, which is exponents, in this case, 3 to the power of two.
