Ablueprint of a bedroom has a scale of 1 4 inch is equivalent to 1 foot. if the closet measures 1 2 inch by 3 4 inch on the blueprint, what are the actual dimensions of the closet?

The actual dimensions of the closet are 2 ft by 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scale, 1/4 inch <--> 1 foot

The closet dimensions on the scale are (1/2 inch, 3/4) or (2/4 inch, 3/4). Let the real closet dimensions be (x,y).

In this case, the rule of three can be applied to find the missing term of a proportion:

The actual dimensions of the closet are 2 ft by 3 ft.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
