Answer:
reggie made an error
the correct scale factor is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
we want to get from A to A', B to B', and ultimately C to C'
to get there, we must multiply each value in each point by the scale factor.
let's start out with reggie's scale factor. he multiplies each value in C by 3/2 to get to C'. we can try this out with one point, e.g. A
for A: 3/2 * (-12, -6) = (-18, -9). this is not A' = (-8, -4)! thus, 3/2 cannot be the scale factor
now, onto hillary's scale factor of 2/3
for A: 2/3 * (-12, -6) = (-8, -4). this is A'! thus, hillary is correct and reggie made an error
the correct scale factor is thus hillary's: 2/3
The hot tub takes in 1,520 watts everyday to keep its water warm. A kilowatt has 1,000 watts (hence kilo means 1,000). 1,520 divided by 1,000 equals 1.520. However, this isn't free electricity - Each kilowatt costs 8 cents or 0.08 of a dollar. 1.520 x 0.08 = 12.160 or $12.16. We aren't done yet! This hot tub runs for 4 months (and we are assuming these months exactly have 30 days each). 4 x 30 = 120. $12.16 x 120 = $1,459.20. In order to keep the hot tub running, you need to pay 1,459.20 for all the kilowatts of electricity it takes.
