3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1  or 4  1/2 inches

So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9  because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9  Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4  1/2 dollars.  (Answer is 9)

So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same

8  4/9   x 9  = 8  4/9  x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1  or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)

Find how X and y compare when log X = 6.6 and log y = 3.6
asambeis [7]

Answer

x = 3981071.7055

y  = 3981.0717

x > y

Step by step explanation

First let's find the value of x and y by taking anti - log.

log X = 6.6

X = log^ -1 (6.6)

X = 3981071.7055

Similarly,

log Y = 3.6

Y = log ^(-1) 3.6

Y = 3981.0717


Once we found the values of X and Y , we can easily compare them.

Here x > y

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you. :)

Geometry help. If x is the image of U under a dilation centered at P, what is the scale factor.
kupik [55]
A dilation pushes all points outwards, a factor of 2 would double the distance (in this case the point V)
every further step is then also an increase of the factor so
1->U (nothing changes)
2->V
3->W
4->X

so the correct answer is 4
