The Scale For The Diagram Of The Doghouse Is 1 In 3 Ft Find The Length Of The Actual Doghouse class=

Sagot :

Answer:

2.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so the scale is 1:3

(1 represents the diagram and 3 represents the actual doghouse)

In the diagram the length is 0.75ft

We can use this Information to set up this equation:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}=\frac{0.75}{x}[/tex]

Simplify: (cross multiply, if confused scroll down, I explained)

x=3(0.75)

x=2.25

Length of actual house is 2.25 feet.

Hope this helps

*************************

Cross multiplying:

It's simply this:

If   [tex]\frac{a}{b}=\frac{x}{y}\\[/tex]

Then we can say

a(y)=b(x)
