Answer:

The scale factor is 2

x=11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

The ratio of its corresponding sides is called the scale factor

In this problem

Triangles RST and MNO are similar

$\frac{NO}{ST}=\frac{MN}{RS}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{x}{5.5}=\frac{6}{3}$

solve for x

$\frac{x}{5.5}=2$

$x=2(5.5)\\x=11\ units$

The scale factor of triangle RST to triangle MNO (enlargement) is equal to 2

Trey, Marco and Tina won a cash prize at a talent show. They decided to share the money evenly between them. When trey got home

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$ fraction of the total money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trey, Marco, and Tina won a cash prize at a talent show.

They decided to share the money evenly between them.

So, if the prize money is $x, then each of them gets $\frac{x}{3}$ amounts of money.

Now, Trey gives half of his money to his little sister.

So, his sister gets $\frac{x}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{6}$ amounts of money.

Therefore, Trey keeps for himself $\frac{x}{3} - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{x}{6}$ amounts of money.

So, it is $\frac{1}{6}$ fraction of the total money. (Answer)

For a normal distribution with mean of 35 and standard deviation of 3, compute the following:

MArishka [77]

A. The empirical rule tells you that 68% of observations fall within one standard deviation of the mean for a normal distribution. [32, 38] = 35 ±3, so your interval is within one standard deviation of the mean.
68% of observations will fall between 32 and 38

B. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half of the observations in part A will be below the mean.
34% of observations will fall between 32 and 35

C. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half the observations fall above the mean.
50% of observations will fall above 35

D. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half the observations will fall below the mean, 35. As in part B, 34% will fall between the mean and one standard deviation above the mean, 38. The sum of these percentages is 84%.
84% of observations will fall below 38
