A rectangle has a height to width ratio of 3 : 4.5.

Give two examples of dimensions for rectangles that could be scaled versions of this rectangle.

One rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. A second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.

Are these two figures scaled versions of each other?

One rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. A second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs L. Elena writes a = 6L and Andre writes L=\frac{1}{6}*a

Do you agree with either of the equations?

On the grid, draw a scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor \frac{2}{3}.

Solve each equation mentally.

a. \frac{5}{2}*x=1
b. x*\frac{7}{3}=1

c. 1\div\frac{11}{22}=x

(Order the answers with a being on top and c being on bottom.)

  1. x = \frac{2}{11}
  2. x = \frac{2}{5}
  3. x = \frac{3}{7}

Lin has a scale model of a modern train. The model is created at a scale of 1 to 48.

The height of the model train is 102 millimeters. What is the actual height of the train in meters?

Lin has a scale model of a modern train. The model is created at a scale of 1 to 48.

On the scale model, the distance between the wheels on the left and the wheels on the right is 1\frac{1}{4} inches. The state of Wyoming has old railroad tracks that are 4.5 feet apart. Can the modern train travel on those tracks?
