In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor. To find the scale factor, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the scale factor from one figure to the other. say a triangle had points of A(-1,0),B(0,1),and C(1,0) and the scale factor is two you basically double all the points so the A' is (-2,0), B' is (0,2), and C' is (2,0).

Answer:

5 pints per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Morning:

Given:

Number of strawberries packed in every 4 minutes = 3

∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = $\frac{3}{4}$

So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = $\frac{3}{4}\times 60=45$

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 45 pints per hour in the morning.

Afternoon:

Number of strawberries packed in every 3 minutes = 2

∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = $\frac{2}{3}$

So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = $\frac{2}{3}\times 60=40$

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 40 pints per hour in the afternoon.

Difference between the packing rates is given as:

Morning rate - Afternoon rate = 45 - 40 = 5 pints per hour.

So, she packed 5 more pints in one hour in the morning than in the afternoon.

What is the value of x? 27(x+4)=−6

jonny [76]

First you need to use the distributive property: 27(x+4)=-6
27x+108=-6
then you need to subtract 108 from -6 to
get x alone. 27x= 102

Lastly divide 102 by 27 to finally get x alone: x=3.777

the answer would be: x= 3.77 or 3.8
