Greetings from Brasil...

According to the statement, one figure is scaled in relation to another, so we can apply similarity to polygons.....

BIG/small = BIG/small

small/BIG = small/BIG

12.5/10 = X/16

10/12.5 = 16/X

12.5/10 = X/16

10X = 12.5 · 16

X = 200/10

Table of inches and centimeters

TEA [102]

If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.

While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is nonsensical to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.

So, we're down to the second choice:

- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.

_____

To find the pattern in the table, you can ...

observe that the inch values differ by 1
observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

_____

I don't know what the first step in your problem solving process is supposed to be. In my problem solving process, the first step is always to look at what you are given. The next step is look at what you are being asked for.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Each person would get 4 cup cakes if all 8 friends attend the party.

Each person would get 12 cup cakes when 6 friends not attended the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of cup cakes = 36

Number of friends coming to party = 8

Total number of people cakes need to distributed including George = 9

We need to find the number of cup cakes each person would get;

Solution:

Now we can say that;

number of cup cakes each person would get is equal to Total Number of cup cakes divided by Total number of people cakes need to distributed including George.

framing in equation form we get;

number of cup cakes each person would get = $\frac{36}{9}=4$

Hence Each person would get 4 cup cakes if all 8 friends attend the party.

Now Given:

Number of friends not attended the party = 6

So we can say that;

Total number of people cakes need to distributed including George = 9 - 6 = 3

So we can say that;

number of cup cakes each person would get = $\frac{36}{3} =12$

Hence Each person would get 12 cup cakes when 6 friends not attended the party.
