On a picture the size of rectangular room is 5 cm by 7 cm. actually the shorter side of the room is 6m. what is the scale of a picture and how long is the longer side of the room?

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that the dimensions of the picture in meters is:

2. As you can see, the shorter side of the picture is .

3. Then, if the shorter side of the room is , you can find the scale of the picture by dividing the shorter side of the room by the shorter side of the picture, as following:

or

4. Then, you can calculate the longer side of the room by multiplying by the longer side of the picture:

Therefore, the answer is: The scale of the picture is and the longer side of the room is .

greater than one

step-by-step explanation:

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
