Question

hüseyin draws a fox on graph paper using the scale shown below. the fox has a height of 80 cm in the drawing. which of the following drawings best represents the height of the fox at the scale hüseyin chose? choose 1 answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Find the number of 15 - cm segments in 80 cm

$n=\lfloor\frac{80}{15}
floor = 5$ (using floor function as we are looking at whole 15 - cm segments). The remainder is $80\bmod{15}=5$ cm.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: $5\frac{1}{3}$ units. If each unit represents 15 cm, $5\frac{1}{3}\times15 = 5\times15+\frac{1}{3}\times15=75 + 5=80$ cm.
• Option B: 16 units. If each unit represents 15 cm, $16\times15=240$ cm.
• Option C: 12 units. If each unit represents 15 cm, $12\times15 = 180$ cm.

Answer:

A. Option A
