On the ceiling of a cavern, a stalactite grows downward

The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart. 

let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120

We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120        Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120               Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000 

The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years

What percent of 3000 is 1530?
Tcecarenko [31]
For this we need to do (1530/3000)*100

1530/3000 is the same as 153/300 which is the same as 51/100

Therefore the total percentage is 0.51*100 = 51%

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: Choice A) Rectangle B'C'D'E' is larger because scale factor is greater than 1.

Going from (x,y) to (3x,3y) means we multiply each coordinate by 3. This is the scale factor. The scale factor being larger than 1 means the new image is an enlargement compared to the original preimage. Specifically the dimensions of the new rectangle are 3 times larger.
