Question

Dennis drew a diagram of a go-cart he Is planning to build. All of the measurements in the diagram use the scale of 1 inch = 16 inches. He plans to make the actual go-cart 56 inches long. Which proportion shows the length of the go-cart in the diagram?A. 1/16 = x/56B. 16/56 = x/1C. x/16 = 1/56 D. x/56 = 16/1

Answer 1

In this case the answer is very simple .

Step 01:

Data

diagram scale 1 inch = 16 inches

go-cart x length = 56 inches

Step 02:

`\begin{gathered} x\cdot\text{ 16 inches = 1 inch }\cdot\text{ 56 inches} \\ (x)/(1)\text{ = }(56)/(16) \end{gathered}`

The answer is:

A. 1/16 = x / 56
