Question

A wall measures 6 centimeters on a blueprint.if w represents the width of the

actual wall in meters,what is the value of w ?

Answer 1

90 meters wide

Explanation:

The wall is ninety meters wide. Set up and solve a proportion to find the value of w, like this:

Cancel out the like units on both sides of the equation.

Equate the cross-products, and then solve for w.

The actual width of the wall is ninety meters.

Answer 2

the value of the actual wall 'w' is 0.06 meters

Explanation:

a wall measures 6 centimeters on a blueprint

width of the wall in blue print is 6 centimeters

'w' represents the actual wall in meters

we need the width in meters

to convert the width of blue print centimeters into meters we divide by 100

`w=(6)/(100) =0.06`

So the value of the actual wall 'w' is 0.06 meters
