QuestionErnesto is creating a scale drawing of his bedroom. 1 inch in his drawing represents 12 inches in his bedroom.
Complete the table. \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline 4) )) Bedroom (inches) & 12 & 24 & & \\ \hline 4)) & Drawing (inches) & 1 & L & 5 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Graph the data from the table.

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to figure out how many inches in Ernesto's drawing represent 60 inches in his bedroom, and how many inches in his bedroom are represented by 2 inches in his drawing.
Then, we need to graph the relationship between the drawing measurements and the actual bedroom measurements. Watch out! It's easy to mix up the drawing measurements and the actual bedroom measurements, so let's stay focused!

STEP 2

1. Fill the table
2. Graph the data

STEP 3

Alright, let's **decode** this table!
We know that 11 inch on the drawing equals 1212 inches in the real bedroom.
This is our **golden rule**!

STEP 4

The table shows that if the bedroom length is 2424 inches, the drawing length is LL inches.
Since 11 inch in the drawing represents 1212 inches in the bedroom, we can set up a proportion: 1 inch (drawing)12 inches (bedroom)=L inches (drawing)24 inches (bedroom)\frac{1 \text{ inch (drawing)}}{12 \text{ inches (bedroom)}} = \frac{L \text{ inches (drawing)}}{24 \text{ inches (bedroom)}}

STEP 5

To find LL, we can **cross-multiply**: 124=12L1 \cdot 24 = 12 \cdot L 24=12L24 = 12L

STEP 6

Now, we want to **isolate** LL.
We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 1212: 2412=12L12\frac{24}{12} = \frac{12L}{12} 2=L2 = LSo, L=2L = \mathbf{2} inches!
If the bedroom length is 2424 inches, the drawing length is 2\mathbf{2} inches.
Makes sense, right?
Double the bedroom length, double the drawing length!

STEP 7

Now, let's tackle the next part of the table.
We know the drawing length is 55 inches, but we need to find the corresponding bedroom length.
Let's call the unknown bedroom length BB.
Using our **golden rule** again, we set up another proportion: 1 inch (drawing)12 inches (bedroom)=5 inches (drawing)B inches (bedroom)\frac{1 \text{ inch (drawing)}}{12 \text{ inches (bedroom)}} = \frac{5 \text{ inches (drawing)}}{B \text{ inches (bedroom)}}

STEP 8

**Cross-multiplying** gives us: 1B=1251 \cdot B = 12 \cdot 5 B=60B = 60So, if the drawing length is 55 inches, the bedroom length is 60\mathbf{60} inches!

STEP 9

Let's **visualize** this!
We'll put the drawing measurements (in inches) on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the bedroom measurements (in inches) on the vertical axis (y-axis).

STEP 10

From our table and calculations, we have the following points to plot: (1,12)(1, 12), (2,24)(2, 24), and (5,60)(5, 60).
Remember, the first number in each pair is the drawing measurement, and the second number is the actual bedroom measurement.

STEP 11

Plot these points on your graph.
You should see that they form a straight line!
This is because the relationship between the drawing measurements and the bedroom measurements is **linear**.
For every 11 inch increase in the drawing, there's a 1212 inch increase in the actual bedroom size.

STEP 12

The completed table is: \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline Bedroom (inches) & 12 & 24 & **60** & \\ \hline Drawing (inches) & 1 & **2** & 5 \\ \hline \end{tabular} And the graph should show a straight line passing through the points (1,12)(1, 12), (2,24)(2, 24), and (5,60)(5, 60).
