The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is written in the form of a numerator and a denominator where the denominator is greater than the numerator.

Example: 1/2, 1/3 is a fraction.

We have,

Let the total estate = 100x

Share left with Sam = 50x

Remaining share = 50x

Now,

Share left with cousin Fred = 1/2 of 50x = 25x

Remaining share = 25x

Share left with nephew Bill = 1/2 x (25x) = 12.5x

Remaining share = 12.5x

Share left with the care of the cat Chester = 12.5x

12.5x = $25,000

Now,

12.5x = $25,000

Multiply with 100/12.5 on both sides.

100/12.5 x 12.5x = 100/12.5 x $25,000

100x = $200,000

Thus,

The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this one is tricky so b/c the lines are at 90 degees we know that the arcs are similar so set up the parts of the arcs equal to 360 degrees

360 = 130 + 130 + x + x

see each part of the circle ?

then use your mad algebra skilz

100 = 2x

50 = x

:) nice.. when I do the math , it seems easy , huh :DDD

You are making a poster to support your friend for homecoming. Your original photo is 4 inches by 6 inches. You want the photo o

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that dimensions of original photo are 4 inches by 6 inches. We want the photo on the poster to be of dimensions 3 feet by 4 1/2 feet.

First of all we will convert dimensions of poster from feet to inches.

$3\text{ feet}=3\times 12 \text{ inches}=36\text{ inches}$

$4\frac{1}{2}\text{ feet}=4.5\times 12 \text{ inches}=54\text{ inches}$

Now let us compare sides of our original photo with corresponding sides of poster.

$\frac{36}{4} =9$

Now let us compare the second pair of corresponding sides.

$\frac{54}{6} =9$

We have seen that sides of poster are 9 times the sides of our original photo, therefore, the scale factor of this dilation is 9.
