PLEASE ANSWER ASAP1. The length of a bookshelf is 5 ft. The length of a model of this bookshelf is 3 ft. Find the scale factor of the model to the bookshelf. Enter your answer in the box.2. A rectangular garden has a length of 8 ft and a width of 4 ft. A smaller garden was made, using a scale factor of 34 . Find the dimensions of the smaller garden. Enter your answers in the boxes.
Accepted Solution
A:
1. You can find the scale factor bookshelf by dividing the actual length with model length. If you put it into an equation, it would look like this
actual length= model length * scale factor 5ft= 3ft * scale factor scale factor = 5ft/3ft= 1.667 times
2. You can solve this problem with equation used above. Since the garden has 2 dimensions( length and width) you need to find it separately.
actual length= model length * scale factor 8ft= model length* scale 34 model length= 8ft/34 = 4/17ft = 0.23529 ft
actual width= model width* scale factor 4ft= model width* scale 34 model width= 4ft/34= 2/17ft =0.11764 ft
