It is nonsense. Penny claims she is going to to make it LARGER than life size. Therefore the fraction would have to be improper. The fraction stated would be making something SMALLER than life size.

It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.

3(a + 4) = 3a + 4<br><br> Question 3 options:<br> True<br> False
sattari [20]
Simple...

you have: 3(a+4)=3a+4

You're deciding whether it's true or false..to do so, simplify it..

3(a+4)=3a+4

3*a=3a
3*4=12

3a+12=3a+4

As we can see here, they do no match. False.

Thus, your answer.
