Answer 1

Answer:

Hello!

Okay, so how I solved this answer was I actually of went backwards in order. What I mean by that is I found the scale of $\frac{1.954}{1.563}$. Put this division equation into a calculator and then multiply the quotient by 1.0. This should give you an answer of approximately 1.250. 1.250 is the unknown text size for this problem. I took a quiz with this exact same problem and got the answer correct, so I can verify that this is an accurate answer. I hope this helps. Have a lovely day! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The unknown scale size is 1.250

What is proportion?

It is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

What is scale?

"It is a number by which the size of any figure or shape can be changed with respect to its original size."

What is rounding off a number?

"Rounding off means a number is made simpler by keeping its value intact but closer to the next number."

Rounding to the n-th place

"If number after the n-th place is greater than 5, add 1 to the n-th value. If it is less than 5, leave the n-th place value as it is, and remove all the numbers present after the tenth's place.

We have been given four sizes of scaled text.

These sizes must be in proportion.

Consider,

1.965 / 1.563 = 1.2501

Let the unknown scale size is 'x'.

So, 1.563/x = 1.2501

⇒ 1.563 = 1.2501 × (x)

⇒ 1.563/1.2501 = x

⇒ x = 1.2504

⇒ x = 1.250                  ...................(rounding to the nearest thousandth)

Since these sizes are in proportion, the ratio of last two sizes must be 1.250

Consider, x / 1

= 1.250 / 1

= 1.250

Therefore, the unknown scale size is 1.250
