Answer:

When the absolute value of the scale factor is lower than 1, it decreases the size of the shape.

When the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, the shape will increase in size.

How to Remember it:

Think if the number is a fraction, the shape will be a fraction of the size.

Answer:

When the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than one, an expansion occurs. When the absolute value of the scale factor is less than one, a compression occurs. When the absolute value of the scale factor is equal to one, neither an expansion nor a compression occurs.

Luna had $50 dollars when she got to the carnival. After riding 12 rides she had $26 dollars left. What was the price of each ri

Alexeev081 [22]

$50 minus $24 equals $26 which means that she spent a total amount of $24 on rides 24 divided by 12 equals 2 which means each ride costs $2
We could represent the equation this way I guess ?
50 - ? = 26
?/12 = ?
Or maybe you could replace the question marks with an x
