Answer 1

Hey since 2 cm = 8 feet, so the width is 4 cm how many would that be?

Answer 2

choice A

Answer 3

4 + 2 = 6cm

Answer 4

Length = 8 feet, width = 6 feet

Answer 5

Well lets think about it for a bit

Answer 6

If 2 cm = 8 feet and we want our dimensions in feet.

Then we have our width being 4 cm and length being 6 cm, that will obviously be more than 8 feet for both dimensions right?

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

Ok, so 4 cm would then be 16 feet no?

Answer 9

only if you multiply it by 4

Answer 10

If we have 2 cm = 8 feet, and we want the real dimensions for width which are 4 cm, then we would 8 feet+8 feet = 16 feet right, because we have 2 cm + 2 cm = 4cm? For 4 cm, I'm just trying to get you to make sense of this

Answer 11

yeah

Answer 12

then would you agree the dimensions for width is 16 feet

Answer 13

width is 16

Answer 14

Right, so what is length then?

Answer 15

6 cm length, think of it the same way as before, 2cm+2cm+2cm = 6 cm right?

Answer 16

24 is the length

Answer 17

Exactly!

Answer 18

6*4=24

Answer 19

thank you again for your help
