Answer:
third option is the correct answer
go with the names of the triangle
the triangles are HIJ and LMN
so the ratios will be accordingly
15/20 and 16/20
4/5 or 16/20 is greater
Answer:
D) (x, y) → (1/3x , 1/3 y)
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation is a change of size, if the dilation factor is greater than 1, then the figure is enlarged. If the dilation factor is smaller than 1, the figure is shrinked. In both cases, the coordinates are MULTIPLIED by the dilation factor.
Among the 4 choices, only 2 are dilations. One is with a dilation factor of 3 (A), which means the shape was enlarged. And the other is with dilation factor of 1/3, meaning the shape was shrinked.
Since we went from MNOP (LARGE one) to M'N'O'P' (small one), the dilation factor was < 1... so 1/3 is the answer.
Answers B and C show a translation/movement of the shape, not a dilation.
Answer:
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
16 miles 20 min
----------- = -----------
12 miles x
Then 16x = 240, and x = 240/16 = 15.
It will take 15 minutes to travel 12 miles.
