hero · Answer

I'm convinced that there's something incomplete about the explanation.

hero · Answer

It needs to mention the meters: inch scale. I don't see that.

anonymous · Answer

A length in the drawing measures 10 inches

anonymous · Answer

Zach has a drawing with measurements that are proportional to an actual object. A length in the drawing measures 10 inches. Match the scale between the drawing and the actual object with the measure of the corresponding side on the objecs .

hero · Answer

Yeah, I see that, but that isn't enough. The scale needs to mention the inch: meter ratio.

anonymous · Answer

ok let me complete it with details

hero · Answer

A "length" really doesn't mean much. I already know that 10 inches is describing "length".

hero · Answer

@sami-21, we're dealing with scale, not how many inches are in a meter. So it's different.

campbell_st · Answer

I think it works like this

if the scale is 1inch: 3meters... the 10 inches is 30 meters
                     5 inches : 6 meters  then 2 x 5 = 10 is 2 x 6 = 12 meters
                     2 inches: 7 metres  then 5 x 2 = 10  is 5 x 7 = 35 meters
and lastly
                     8 inches : 1metre   then 1.25 * 8 = 10 : 1.25 x 1 = 1.25 metres

anonymous · Answer

@campbell_st  yes you are right

hero · Answer

Okay, it looks like it works, but both explanations are terrible.

campbell_st · Answer

its converting the 10 inches using each scale

hero · Answer

Still terrible.

campbell_st · Answer

its simply 4 questions in 1... 

is the scale is 1 inch: 30 metres... convert 10 inches to metres... 

repeat for the other scales...

anonymous · Answer
