Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.

Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27

Answer:

The scale factor is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The scale factor of the dilation of a prism is the cube root of the ratio of the volume of resultant prism after dilation and the volume of the given prism,

Here, the volume of prism before dilation = 20 cube unit,

And, the volume of the prism after dilation = 540 cube unit,

Thus, by the above statement,

\text{The scale factor of dilation}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{540}{20}}

=\sqrt[3]{27}

=3

Hence, the scale factor is 3 : 1.

ASAP PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer:

It will take Josie 80 minutes to run 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion between the number of minutes she runs to the number of miles she runs. From what we know in the equation, we know that it takes her 24 minutes to run 3 miles, and it takes x minutes to run 10 miles. We can represent this in a proportion!

We know that the ratio of 24:3 will be the same for any number of miles, so we can say

\frac{24}{3} =\frac{x}{10\\}

We can solve this by first simplifying the left hand side then isolation x by multiple both sides of the equation by 10.

24/3 = 8

8 = \frac{x}{10}

80 = x

It will take Josie 80 minutes to run 10 miles.
