Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how wide his shelf is in inches. 2.25*12=27. So his shelf is 27 inches wide. Then divide that by 2.25 to find the number of encyclopedias will fit.

Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF. Side AB measures 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC. Side DE measures 8 cm and
olga55 [171]

Answer: scale factor = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Side length of original figure}}

Given: Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF.

Side AB = 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC.

Side DE = 8 cm and is the longest side of DEF.

\text{For similar triangles, Corresponding sides are proportional.}

AB is corresponds DE (longest side of both triangles)

So, \text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\dfrac{12}{8}=1.5

Hence, the scale factor = 1.5.

John’s house is 12 miles away from school. He is two-thirds of the way home. How many miles has he walked? A. 8 B. 16 C. 18 D. 2
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
This question is funny because the total he has to walk from school back home is 12 MILES. The question tries to confuse you by using the term “two-thirds”. Here is my point: He only had to walk a total of twelve miles. Why would the answer be 16, 18, and 24 miles when he only has to walk 12??? This is just common sense and I wouldn’t overthink the question. I hope I helped! Glad I caught this. Have a great night.
