The missing factor is 1 5/8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the missing factor has 'x'

The given expression is 4 1/2 - x = 2 7/8

<u>To find x :</u>

The first step is to bring all the constant terms on on side and x on the other side,

⇒ 4 1/2 - 2 7/8 = x

Now, the numbers are in improper fraction (mixed fraction). So you have to convert them into proper fraction.

To convert the improper fraction 4 1/2 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 2 with 4 and the result 8 is added with the numerator 1.

⇒ 4 1/2 = 9/2.

To convert the improper fraction 2 7/8 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 8 with 2 and the result 16 is added with the numerator 7.

⇒ 2 7/8 = 23/8.

Now replace them in the given expression. The expression becomes as :

⇒ (9/2) - (23/8) = x

Cross multiply 2 and 8,

⇒ (72 - 46) / 16 = x

⇒ 26 / 16 = x

⇒ 13/8 = x

The x value is 13/8. You have to convert it into mixed fraction (since the question is given in the form of mixed fraction).

<u>To convert into mixed fraction,</u>

Divide 13 by 8 and write them in the form of Quotient (Reminder / Divisor).

⇒ 13 ÷ 8

⇒ 1 (quotient)

⇒ 5 (remainder)

The divisor is 8.

Therefore, x = 13/8 can be written as 1 5/8.

The missing factor is 1 5/8.

Can anyone solve this for me?? I will give brainliest and 5 stars and thanks
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When we enlarge or shrink an object, we perform a dilation. A dilation preserves the relationship between sides and the exact angle measure. This means the original and the enlargement are proportional and any missing lengths can be found through a proportion.

A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare height over length of the original rectangle to an equal ratio of height to length of the enlargement. Since we do not know height of the enlargement, we will use a variable to write:

\frac{2}{9} =\frac{h}{13.5}

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

9h=2(23.5)\\19h=27

I now solve for h by dividing by 9.

\frac{9h}{9} =\frac{27}{9} \\h= 3

The new height is 3 cm.
