Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the scale factor of the given dilation.

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. We are asked to find the scale factor of dilation.

The scale factor multiplied by the original side gives the length of new side after dilation, so we can set an equation as:

\text{Original length }\cdot \text{Scale factor}=\text{New length after dilation}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

2.5\cdot x=10

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 2.5 we will get,

\frac{2.5\cdot x}{2.5}=\frac{10}{2.5}

x=4

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is 4 and option B is the correct choice.

Scale factor = new length/old length

scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4

The scale factor is 4.

Ken wants to buy some coffee mugs, m , that cost $5 each and some ground coffee, C, that costs $8 a pound. He has $25.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The inequality representation of the scenario is :

  • 5m + 8c ≤ 25
  • m = 1 and c = 1

  • Number of mugs = m
  • Cost per mug = $5
  • Number of ground coffee = c
  • Cost per ground coffee = $8
  • Total amount to spend = $25

  • (Number of mug × cost per mug) + (Number of ground coffee × cost of ground coffee) ≤total amount to spend

  • Representing as an inequality : 5m + 8c ≤ 25

Combination of m and c that makes the inequality true :

  • Using trial by error :
  • m = 1 and c = 1
  • 5(1) + 8(1) ≤ 25 ; 13 ≤ 25

Hence, m = 1 and c =1 are valid values for the expression.

The table shows the price of two cereal brands and the number of ounces per box. Which is the better price per ounce?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

A) Cereal brand A

B) There is no table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) divide each cereal price by the amount of ounces. Brand A is $0.13888 (rounds to $0.14). B is $0.14583 (rounds to $0.15) So, since cereal band A is less cost per ounce, its cheaper

B) This question cannot be answered, since there is no table.
