Ok so you would just take the two fractions and simply if needed and that the answer!
The length of ST is 10 units, the length of S't" is 2 units.
This means the dilated figure was decreased by a factor of 5.
Because it is smaller it would be a scale factor of 1/5 ( 0.2 as a decimal).
89.5%
This is because you move the decimal place by two places to the right whenever converting to a percentage.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
FRACTION DECIMAL
1/5( 1*2/5*2=2/10) 0.2
3/10 0.3
1/2(1*5/2*5=5/10) 0.5
7/10 0.7
3/4(3*25/4*25=75/100) 0.75
<u><em>NOTE</em></u>: To conert a fraction into decimal, it is required that the denominator be changed into 10, 100, 1000 and so on..... By changing the denominator, we have to first select the appropriate number by which you will be able to convert it into 10, 100 or 1000, and you are also required to multiply that number with the denominator as well as numerator. In the first question, 1/5 we can convert the denoinator into 10, 100 or 1000 as the denominator is 5, whatever you choose, the answer will be correct, so, 1*2/5*2 gives 2/10. Since 10 has one zero, the decimal point moves one time towards the left, which gives 0.2. And you can do the rest according to this way, considering the number of zeroes.
