Question

The image of a button is 5 times the button's actual size and has a diameter of 6 cm. Find the actual dimension of the button.

Answer 1

@kaileylol The diameter of the button in image is 6 cm, do you understand this info?

Answer 2

Yes, I just don't know how to solve it?

Answer 3

It says the image of the button is 5 times larger than the actual size.
So let the diameter of the button be D
obviously the diameter of the button in image is 5 times the actual diameter D.
do you follow this?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

So it's pretty easy, the diameter of the button in image 6 cm
Relating it to actual size D
\[6= 5\times D\]
Can you find D from this?

Answer 6

6 = 30, what does this have to do with the actual dimension? Math is not my fortay, obviously.

Answer 7

Nope, the button's diameter in the image is 5 times the actual,
not the other way around,
so actual size should be small than 6
\[6=5\times D\]
or\[5\times D=6\]
use this to find D

Answer 8

Can you try?

Answer 9

6/5 = 1.2? so the actual size is 1.2, right?
