0.225 centimeters

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

<u>Given: </u>

  • An image of a snowflake is 1.8 centimeters wide.  
  • The actual snowflake is \frac{1}{8} the size of the image.

<u>Question: </u>

What is the width of the actual snowflake?

<u>The Process: </u>

Since the actual snowflake is part of the image size by \frac{1}{8} part, let us make a model of the image and the actual snowflake.

  • The image of a snowflake: \boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot }\boxed{ \cdot } \rightarrow 1.8 \ cm  
  • The actual snowflake: \boxed{ \cdot } \rightarrow \frac{1}{8} \ of \ 8

And now, let us calculate the width of the actual snowflake. As we know, the actual snowflake is \frac{1}{8} the size of the image.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{8} \times 1.8 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{18}{10} \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{1 \times 18}{8 \times 10} \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{18}{80} \ }

Both the numerator and denominator are divided by two to make it a simple fraction.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{9}{40} \ }

Both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 25 to make it a decimal fraction. Therefore, the denominator will be 1,000.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{9 \times 25}{40 \times 25} \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{225}{1,000} \ }

Thus, the width of the actual snowflake is 0.225 centimeters.

1.8 * 1/8 = 0.225, so the width is 0.225 cm. ;)

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints A and B.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h2>( 6 , 7 )</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )\\

From the question we have

m = ( \frac{2 + 10}{2} \:  , \:  \frac{6 + 8}{2} ) \\  =  (\frac{12}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{14}{2} ) \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the final answer as

<h3>( 6 , 7 )</h3>
