Question

Amy is making a drawing of different things in her neighborhood. One house she drew is 30 feet wide. Her scale drawing of the house is 5 inches wide. Which of the following uses the same scale Amy used to draw this house.

A 54 foot-tall water tower is represented by a 9-inch tall drawing

A 29.5-foot wide playground is represented by a 4.5-inch wide drawing

A 24-foot wide house is represented by a 5-inch wide drawing

a 3-foot tall mailbox is represented by a 19-inch drawing

2.Meredith wants to paint 3 of the walls in her room. Each wall has the shape of a rectangle with dimensions 10 feet by 12 feet she has 1 can of paint that will cover approximately 420 square feet which method can Meredith use to determine whether or not she has enough paint to complete the job?

Multiply 10 by 12 compare the product to 420

Multiply 10 by 12 and divide by 3 compare the result to 420

Multiply 10 by 12 by 3 compare the product to 420

Multiply 10 by 12 by 4 and divide by 3 compare the results.

I'm not sure about the first question answer, but I think question two is D, but again I'm not sure. I need an explanation for these two, please

Answer 1

1. In her drawing 1 inch = 6 feet. (30/5 = 6)

2. Not D.
3 walls
Each wall is 120 square feet

Answer 2

Would number two be C than because since each wall is 120 square feet, 3x120=360 would it be close to C?

Answer 3

Yes, 2 C.

Answer 4

Would question 1. be d. Cause I'm still confused on that one a little bit more.

Answer 5

1 is not D. Look for the pair of numbers that when divided has an even number for the quotient. 6 times the number of inches should be an even number.

Answer 6

So Would it be A then? Because I did 54 divided by 9= 6.

Answer 7

Yes, A.

Answer 8

Okay I understand now. Thank you so much.

Answer 9

:-) You are very welcome.
