Answer:
a) 1/2; reduction
b) 5/4; enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.
a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction
__
b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement
The circumference of the top of the cake is 
in.
It sounds like the baker is trying to line the circumference with cherriesto fit as many as possible along the border, like in the picture I've attached below.
This comes down to dividing the cake's circumference by the diameter of each cherry:
or about 39 cherries, making the answer D.
Did you mean thousands? If you did the answer is <span>325,000
