B)g=16
C)g=13
D)g=50(
Ms. Sue is this right ?
Yes, A.
The length of a fence on a scale drawing is 6 cm. If the scale is 1 cm:4 m, what is the actual
length of the fence?
Um is it a or not
To solve the proportion (G/56) = (2/8), we need to isolate the variable G by cross-multiplying.
First, cross-multiply by multiplying G with 8 and 56 with 2:
8 * G = 2 * 56
Simplify the equation:
8G = 112
Now, we can solve for G by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
G = 112/8
Simplifying the division:
G = 14
Therefore, the correct answer is A) G = 14.
