Answer:

scale factor = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.

scale factor = $\frac{14.4}{12}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$ = 1.2

Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes. What would be Jake's running time as a decimal?

VikaD [51]

$\text{Given that Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes.}\\
\\
\text{we need to find this time in decimals. so we will convert 12 minutes into hours}\\
\\
\text{We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. }\\
\\
\text{so in 1 minute there will be}=\frac{1}{60 }\text{ hour}$

$\text{hence in 12 minutes we have}=\frac{1}{60}\times 12=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 \text{ hours}\\
\\
\text{hence the Jake's running time is}=3\text{hours + 12 minute}\\
\\
=3\text{ hours}+0.2 \text{ hours}\\
\\
=3.2 \text{ hours}$

Hence, Jake's running time in decimal is: 3.2 hours

Answer: 14/15

This is because to get to 14/15 you must divide by 6 but when getting to 42/45 you must divide 2. Therefore 14/15 is your answer because the problem went to the most reduced fraction.
