Rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create W'X'Y'Z'.
2 answers:
You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see attached), please attach it next time.
So the first thing we have to do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W’X’Y’Z’ is 1.5 while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5), therefore the dilation factor to use is:
dilation factor = 1.5 / (1.5 + 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6
Since WX has an initial measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W’X’ is:
W’X’ = 3 units * (1/6) = 0.5 units

Answer:
Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour
Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour
On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ron takes 10 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.5 miles
Stevie takes 6 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.25 miles
To find their unit rates in mile per hour and choose the faster one.
Solution:
Unit rate in miles per hour signifies their speeds. Thus, we will find out their speeds.
Ron:
Distance= 0.5 miles
Time = 10 minutes = hours
Speed =
Stevie
Distance = 0.25 miles
Time = 6 minutes = hours
Speed =
Thus, we have
Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour
Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour
On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.
