A) Jimena makes a scale drawing of a volleyball using a scale of 1 cm in the drawing to 4 inches in real life. If the volleyball has a diameter of 17 inches, what is the diameter of the ball in the drawing?

4.25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio = 1/4

17in x 1/4 = 4.25cm

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

x=5
