Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
Answer:
Ratio of x-coordinates:
Ration of y-coordinates:
Step-by-step explanation:
The table is asking for the ratio of x-coordinates for each point (A, B, C and D) for both the image and pre-image. The ratio is the image 'x' or 'y' value ÷ the pre-image 'x' or 'y' value. Each ratio should be expressed in simplest form and should show the same pattern of dilation, or same scale factor. In this case, the second figure is 1/2 the size of the original figure.
