Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing
If the original scale is 1 box = 3 feet and the new scale is 1 box = 5 feet, then the new scale is a larger scale.
To convert the width of 2 boxes in the original scale to the new scale, multiply it by the ratio of the scales:
2 boxes * (5 feet / 3 feet) = 10/3 = 3.33 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be approximately 3.33 boxes.
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing
If the scale of the original drawing is 1 box = 3 feet, and you want to convert it to a scale of 1 box = 5 feet, you need to determine the conversion factor between the two scales.
To find the conversion factor, divide the new scale (5 feet per box) by the original scale (3 feet per box):
5 feet per box ÷ 3 feet per box = 5/3 ≈ 1.67.
The conversion factor is approximately 1.67.
To find the width in boxes of the new scale drawing, multiply the width in boxes of the original scale drawing by the conversion factor:
2 boxes * 1.67 = 3.34.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be approximately 3.34 boxes.
quit changing my question
I apologize for any confusion. I understand that you want to convert the scale drawing with a scale of 1 box = 5 feet.
If the width in the original scale drawing is 2 boxes, then in the new scale, the width can be found by dividing the width in the original scale by the conversion factor of the scales.
The conversion factor from the original scale (1 box = 3 feet) to the new scale (1 box = 5 feet) is 5/3.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing can be found by dividing 2 boxes by the conversion factor:
2 boxes / (5/3) = 2 * (3/5) = 1.2 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 1.2 boxes.
A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a triangle in a proportional relationship to the original. It measures 0.5 inches on each side. Identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece
To identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece, we can compare the lengths of the corresponding sides in both versions.
Original triangular piece: 3 inches on each side.
Travel version triangular piece: 0.5 inches on each side.
The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of a side in the travel version by the length of the corresponding side in the original version. Let's take one side for comparison:
Scale factor = Length of side in travel version / Length of side in original version
= 0.5 inches / 3 inches
= 1/6.
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece is 1/6.
original triangle
10in. 15in. 18in.
copy triangle
20in. 30in. 36in.
Randee draws these two triangles with lengths given in centimeters. What scale factor does she use to create the copy from the original
To find the scale factor Randee used to create the copy triangle from the original triangle, we need to compare the lengths of the corresponding sides in centimeters.
Original Triangle: 10 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm
Copy Triangle: 20 cm, 30 cm, 36 cm
We can select any of the sides to compare, let's choose the shortest side:
Scale factor = Length of side in copy triangle / Length of side in original triangle
= 20 cm / 10 cm
= 2.
Therefore, the scale factor Randee used to create the copy triangle from the original triangle is 2.
the box
long side 10
short side 2
