The scale that maps Figure A is 1 2/3 and Figure B is 6. What is the value of X?
To solve this problem, we need to set up a proportion between the scale of Figure A and the scale of Figure B.
The scale of Figure A is 1 2/3, which can be written as the decimal 1.67 (since 2/3 = 0.67).
The scale of Figure B is 6.
Let x represent the value we need to find.
Thus, we can set up the proportion:
1.67/6 = x/1 [since we have a ratio of lengths on both sides]
Cross multiplying, we get:
6x = 1.67
Dividing both sides by 6, we get:
x = 1.67/6
x ≈ 0.28
Therefore, the value of X is approximately 0.28.
