i need help with a worksheet about scale factor
whts up?
@Laylalyssa @CocoCammron
What is 1.5 divded by 0.5 =?
3
good, that's your scale factor for the table
5 times 3 4 times 3 etc
what chu need help wit
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @LilTimmy120 what chu need help wit \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) The posted a PDF with their questions. It is seventh grade level scale factor problems.
so for the living room i would put 3?
living room will be 5 times 3 which is 15
3 is the multiplier
Mhm
i dont understand
Its 15
living room = 5 times 3 dining room = 4 times 3 kitchen = 5.5 times 3 etc everything times 3
ok
Mhm
and you do that with the laundry room basement and garage let me know if you get suck or want me to check your answers
i got 15, 12, 16.5 ,9.75, 30 and 25
perfect!
the units will be in feet
ok in the next chunk, it says that that scale factor from the model to real life is 9 This means if you start with "model is 7 inches" you would multiply by 9 to get the real life length and if you start with "real life is 45 feet" you would divide by 9 to get the model length
5
yeah 5 inches would be your answer in numebr 8
what about question 7
reread the comment from before
"in the next chunk, it says that that scale factor from the model to real life is 9 This means if you start with "model is 7 inches" you would multiply by 9 to get the real life length"
7 times 9 = 63
so would 63 feet be the answer
yes
number 9 it starts with the model length so we multiply by 9 to get the real length number 10 it starts with the model length so we multiply by 9 to get the real length
90?
Number 9 says "In the model, two of the flagpoles are 4 inches apart. How far apart will they be when they are installed?" multiply the number in the problem by the scale factor of 9
so 4 times 9?
yup
36 feet
good :)
also multiply the numbers in problem 10 also by the scale factor of 9
so 9 times 10 then 17 times 10?
times 9 but yes
90 and 170 ?
9 times 9 17 times 9
oh
81 and 153
there yah go
do i multiply them together?
nope, it's asking for the dimensions
how would i write it?
81 ft by 153 ft
ok and what do i do for 11
what number have I been asking you to multiply or divide with? or what number have I been calling the "scale factor" ?
9
there you go
so i just put 9 for the answer
yup
ok thx
that's all for math
