hello HELP ASAP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what are you stuck on?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

whole thing ...lol

OpenStudy (itrymath):

and i've been trying to figure out for approximetly 4-6 hours...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they want you to design a room

OpenStudy (itrymath):

idk if you know mathmale yeah well we didnt get anywhere.. (he did) i didnt

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay i did

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i'll send pic

OpenStudy (itrymath):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What does `sq` mean on your paper? Does it mean `square`?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

btw it said do a single room, not the whole apartment or house. But your teacher may still accept it

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yes it means sq and it doesn't matter

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

change each `sq` to `units`

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sq isn't a proper term but units is

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that will take care of the scale dimensions

OpenStudy (itrymath):

um dont i have to like convert them to real life though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in your scale drawing, how long is each unit?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

am i suppose to make that up or what

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes but make it realistic

OpenStudy (itrymath):

how

OpenStudy (itrymath):

how about x5.5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

multiple every unit for example 10 * 5.5 or the dresser 8 * 5.5

OpenStudy (itrymath):

would that make it realistc ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you're saying 1 unit = 5.5 _______ where something would go in the blank (meters or feet or something like that)

OpenStudy (itrymath):

5.5 inches

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is it realistic to have this scale?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the 3 unit by 2 unit desk would be 16.5 inches by 11 inches (see work below). That doesn't sound realistic at all 3*5.5 = 16.5 2*5.5 = 11

OpenStudy (itrymath):

but every unit is suppose to equal the same amount

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i can't think of a decent number

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why not something bigger, why not 1 unit = 1 foot ??

OpenStudy (itrymath):

wouldn't that be to big?!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3 ft by 2 ft is a reasonable size for a desk I think

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yes it does ... (just measured my desk )

OpenStudy (itrymath):

can i ask how old you are?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

and can we answer questions 1 through 4 on step 3

OpenStudy (itrymath):

hello @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (itrymath):

@caozeyuan

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

ok, so where are you now

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i just need help on the 4 questions on step 3

OpenStudy (itrymath):

thats literally it and mathmale guided me through them a little so now i should know the answer

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

ok, so the first question ask you to convert the dimension of objects on paper to that of real life

OpenStudy (itrymath):

just to clarify are you looking at step 3

OpenStudy (itrymath):

actually i'll just post the question in

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

for example, if one square has length 1 meter in real life

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes

OpenStudy (itrymath):

In the example floor plan of a bedroom above, the bed measures 5.5 squares x 8 squares. When the actual dimensions of the bed are found, the bed is approximately 55 in. x 80 in. which converts to approximately 4.5 ft. x 6.6 ft. After creating your floor plan and using your scale factor to find the actual dimensions of the objects placed in the room, do you think the sizes are true-to-life and represent real-world sizes? Explain your answer using complete sentences and provide details in your writing.

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so you need to have your plan ready first, with conversion factor

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

do you have that?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

I guess lol

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

measure the dimension of one of the objects on paper

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

and tell me what you got

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i dont know .. all i know is it was multiplied by 10

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

no, I need the sizes of the object ON PAPER, i.e. how large is the thing that you ve drawn

OpenStudy (itrymath):

Bruh, its on the website link i gave you rofl

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

for example, I measured it to be 10cm by 10cm, and my conversion factor is 1:10, that means in real life it would be 1m by 1m

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

but thats not YOURS

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i made mine !!J@!J@#!@#!#@?!?#?!@#

OpenStudy (itrymath):

but mine has nothing to do with this

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes it does

OpenStudy (itrymath):

jim already helped me through mine

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

the question ask for the sizes

OpenStudy (itrymath):

no lies

OpenStudy (itrymath):

let me see

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so you need to measure it and convert it to real life size

OpenStudy (itrymath):

Omg i already did that

OpenStudy (itrymath):

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

then tell me whats your answer

OpenStudy (itrymath):

In the example floor plan of a bedroom above

OpenStudy (itrymath):

thats from text

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

basically i need to know the size of your object and the conversion factor you use

OpenStudy (itrymath):

In the example floor plan of a bedroom above, the bed measures 5.5 squares x 8 squares. When the actual dimensions of the bed are found, the bed is approximately 55 in. x 80 in. which converts to approximately 4.5 ft. x 6.6 ft. After creating your floor plan and using your scale factor to find the actual dimensions of the objects placed in the room, do you think the sizes are true-to-life and represent real-world sizes? Explain your answer using complete sentences and provide details in your writing.

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

yes, I know that

OpenStudy (itrymath):

I did mine already lmao..... this is a different example !@#*721836&!@*&$*!&

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

just tell me yours

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay fine my bed was 10 unites x 9 unites and i used 1 unit = 1 foot

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

so your real life bed would be 10 ft by 9 ft

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yup

OpenStudy (itrymath):

and i cant do ANYTHING aout it

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

now google some typical bed sizes, does yours seem reasonable, i.e similiar to the bed someone is sleeping on right now

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i drew it in pen

OpenStudy (itrymath):

well mine is 10 ft

OpenStudy (itrymath):

its called XXX bed

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay so my bed right now is 5 inches in length and 3 inches in width

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

well, it doesnt matter what sizes it is

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

you just need to answer the question

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i did

OpenStudy (itrymath):

so can we answer number 1

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

ok, so your real life bed is 5 ft by 3 ft

OpenStudy (itrymath):

wait wait why are you asking me about the drawing etc i made ... i got that covered with mathmale and jim

OpenStudy (itrymath):

what they didnt cover was 1-4
