You must divide the larger by the smaller... That will give you the scale factor.
For example: Rectangles 10 x 20 and 5 x 10
the scale factor us 10/5 = 20/10 = 2
Hope this helps.
Answer:
B: 8 7/8 Lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
answer = 
step 1 find a common denominator
common denominator - 8
* apply *

now we have

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction
We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

now we have

Now we can subtract
remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )
so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71
so the answer is 
finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction
To do this we divided 71 and 8
8 can go into 71 8 times
8 * 8 = 64
71 - 64 = 7
We're left with 
Are of a parallelogram is base (height)
since the height of this parallelogram is 7(that’s it’s altitude) and the base is 5
the area of this parallelogram is 35 unites sq
