Just because the 3 is less than 5 doesn't mean it's less. What max did wrong was automatically see the first number and say it was greater/least because it's just the first digit. 36,594,145 is greater than 5,980,251 because the last 6 digits are invisible right now so thing about the numbers before the first comma- 36 and 5. Which number is greater? 36 so just because it's the first digit in the number doesn't make it automatically greater or less. *-sorry for such long paragraph*

aw thank you sm <3 !!! needed to hear that
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2
====================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.
If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
30% * n = 15
Change to decimal form
.30 *n = 15
Divide each side by .30
.30n/.30 = 15/.30
n =50
The number is 50
