Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - ⅕ - ⅖ = ⅖

Third boy received ⅖ of the oranges, which are 72

⅖ : 72

1 : X

X = 72 ÷ ⅖ = 180

Complete the equation of the line through [1,4] and [2,2]
son4ous [18]

First find the slope of the line so change in y over change in x so 4-2/1-2 which is 2/-1 so -2 is your slope then plug that as well as a point from above to find your y intercept so y=mx+b 2=-2(2)+ b then you have 2=-4+b then add 4 to each side and you find b is six then you make ur equation from your slope and y int(b) y=-2x+6

<h3>Answer:   0.5</h3>

This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2

==============================================================

Explanation:

The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.

|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3

or

|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3

We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.

--------------------------

The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...

|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5

or

|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5

The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.

We can say A'B' = 1.5

---------------------------

Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k

k = (A'B')/(AB)

k = (1.5)/(3)

k = 0.5

0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.

The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.
