To determine the scale factor that should be used in order to correct the size of the post card, we simply have to divide the original length of the picture which is 4.5 inches by the space available, 1.8 inches. This gives an answer of,
                           scale factor = 4.5 inches / 1.8 inches = 2.5

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of the lenght of a figure compared to the lenght of another figure and it can be used to enlarge or reduce a shape. In this case, as the customer wants to reduce the picture, to calculate the scale factor you have to divide the small length by the big length.

Scale Factor Reduction= Small length /Big length= 1.8/4.5= 0.4

The scale factor is 0.4.

Answer:

612 adults

361 students

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, set two equations:

Let x be number of adults and y be number of students.

As there are in total 937 people, the equation would be the sum of both adults and children:

x+y=937

x=937-y  ...... ( 1 )

As the total sale amount is $1109, the equation would be to add up the ticket fee:

2x+0.75y=1,109  ...... ( 2 )

Put ( 1 ) into ( 2 ):

2(937-y)+0.75y=1,109

1874-2y+0.75y=1,109

-1.25y=-765

y=763/1.25

y=612

Put y into ( 1 ):

x=973-612

x=361

Therefore there are 612 adults and 361 students.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

x² + 12² = 13²

x² + 144 = 169

x² = 169 - 144

x² = 25

\sqrt{x^2} =\sqrt{25}

x = 5
