Answer: 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture , it can be seen that the rectangle is divided into 25 equal sections.

The number of shaded sections= 11

Now, the percent is represented by the shaded area is given by :_

$\dfrac{\text{Number of shaded sections}}{\text{Total sections}}\times100\\\=\dfrac{11}{25}\times100=44\%$

Hence, the percent is represented by the shaded area =44%

Determine whether each scale factor produces an expansion or a contraction under a dilation of the original image

blondinia [14]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the absolute value of the scale factor is less than 1, then the dilation produces a contraction of the original image

If the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, then the dilation produces an expansion of the original image

Verify each value

1) -4

$\left|-4\right|=4$

$4> 1$

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

2) 0.25

$\left|0.25\right|=0.25$

$0.25 < 1$

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

3) -2/3

$\left|-2/3\right|=2/3$

$2/3 < 1$

therefore

The dilation produces a contraction of the original image

4) 2.3

$\left|2.3\right|=2.3$

$2.3 > 1$

therefore

The dilation produces an expansion of the original image

If a 25 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section 4 times as long as the other section, how long is the shorter piece?

DaniilM [7]

X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope

x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5

…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long

If the clock is held at a constant 0.0ºc over a period of 24 hours, how much longer or shorter does the clock measure compared t

NARA [144]

If the clock is held at a constant 0.0ºc over a period of 24 hours, the clock will be exactly the same as the perfect clock because it is at a constant 0.0 ºc for 24. Meaning there is no deviation on its reading
