Answer:
She should have multiplied one half (4)(3.5) by 5 squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Base of triangle=b=4 cm
Height of triangle=h=3.5 cm
Area of triangle=
After enlarged
Scale factor=5
New base of enlarged triangle=b'=4(5) cm
Height of enlarged triangle=h'=3.5(5) cm
Area of enlarged triangle=

Area of enlarged triangle=
She should have multiplied one half (4)(3.5) by 5 squared.
$540
Explanation:
7.5% of 1800 is 135
135 • 4 = 540
Answer:
The answer is mean
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the average cost of the socks, so finding the mean of both would give an average price to compare them to. :)
Answer:
c., d., f
Step-by-step explanation:
"elana walked 12 miles"
That is 12.
"then she walked 1/4 that distance"
That is 1/4 of 12 miles, so it is 1/4 * 12
She walked altogether
12 + 1/4 * 12 = 12 + 3 = 15
She walked altogether 15 miles.
a.12+1/4 = 12.25 which is not 15
b.12×1/4 = 3 which is not 15
c.12+1/4×12 = 12 + 3 = 15 which is correct
d.12(1+ 1/4) = 12(1.25) = 15 which is correct
e.12×3/4 = 9 which is not 15
f.12×5/4 = 15 which is correct
Answer: c., d., f
Step-by-step explanation:
you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).
without that we cannot calculate the actual values.
all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :
a = amount Alberto made
b = amount Benjamin made
c = amount Carlota made
b = 3×a
c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a
that's it.
your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.
and that is missing.
if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have
a + b + c = x
a + 3a + 6a = x
10a = x
a = x/10
b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :
b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10
c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5
