An interior designer sketches a design for a rectangular rug. the dimensions of the sketch are 4in. by 7.5 in. the dimensions of the actual rug will be ten times the dimensions of the drawing, so the scale of the drawing is 1: 10. how many times the area of the sketch is the area of the actual rug? - which figures in the problem are similar? what are their dimensions? - how can proportions you find the dimensions of the actual rug?

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
