A pair of reading glasses shows you an image of an object that is 3.1 times the object's actual size. So the scale factor of the

enlargement is 3.1. The photo shows the glasses magnifying the Constitution by a scale factor of 3.1. If the average text size was magnified at being a height of 0.8 inches, how big must the actual text size be (round to the nearest thousandth)?

When given the scale factor and the factored size of the object, to find the original size, divide the factored size by the scale factor:


0.8 / 3.1 = 0.258 inches

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below?
Luden [163]

Using factorization method;

x²+13x+40=0

x²+13+40

Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).

The two numbers are +5 and +8

The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40

You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)

x(x+5)+8(x+5)

(x+8)(x+5)

x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)

x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)

x= -8 or x= -5

A movie theater charges $5 per ticket and averages 300 customers each night. If prices are raised to $7 per ticket, the theater
Shtirlitz [24]

Attendance with the higher ticket price is ...

... $1750/$7 = 250

So the percentage change in attendance is ...

... change = (new - original)/original × 100%

... = (250 -300)/300 × 100% = -1/6×100% ≈ -17%

Find the amount of time. <br> 8. I = $2000, P = $5000, r = 8%
algol [13]

Answer:

t = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I = $ 2000

P = $ 5000

r = 8%

I = P * \frac{r}{100}*t\\\\t =\frac{ I * 100}{P*r}\\\\t =\frac{2000*100}{5000*8}\\\\ = 5
