Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Line B is an enlargement of Line A, which is 5 cm long. Let's say that the scale factor is "k". Then, when we multiply k by the length of Line A, we should get the length of Line B:

(Line A length) * k = (Line B length)

5 * k = 55

k = 55/5 = 11

Thus, the scale factor is 11.

Hope this helps!

Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies and calls for exactly 384 sprinkles. He is wondering how many sprinkles (p)eft parenthesis

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

960 sprinkles

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sprinkles

For this problem we will create a ratio

$\frac{24}{384} :\frac{60}{x}$

24x=384*60

24x=23,040

x=23,040/24

x=960

Stan would need 960 sprinkles!

Hope this helps!
