On the blueprints for a new house, a wall measures 3.5 inches. If the map scale is 1.25 inches to 2 feet, how long will the actual wall be?

4 1/2 :: 8 1/5 : x            proportion

x = (4 1/2)(8 1/5)                product of means/extremes

x = (9/2)(41/5)                   change improper fraction

x = 369/10                         multiply

x = 36.9                              change to decimal

The actual length is 36.9 feet.

it could 14.28 but if its not that one then it has to be the 17 one. hope this ! : )

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
