In a class of 20 students, 40% are boys. 25% of the boys and 50% of the girls wear glasses. How many students wear glasses?

1 answer:

3 0

Calcualate 40% (0.40) times 20 to get that there are 8 boys in the class. The rest must be girls, so 20 - 8 gives you 12 girls. 25% (0.25) times the 8 boys gives you that 2 of the boys wear glasses. 50% (0.5) times the 12 girls tives you that 6 girls wear glasses. Add together the 2 boys and the 6 girls that wear glasses to get that a total of 8 students wear glasses.

Answer:

For this answer, I will label the points. Starting at the top left, then top right, then bottom left and bottom right let the points be A, B, C, D.

The new coordinates will be

A(-4,10)

B(4,10)

C(-4,4)

D(4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for a dilation which is a transformation that makes an image proportionately smaller or larger by a scale factor. The scale factor is how much smaller or larger the shape will be, if the scale factor is between 0 and 1 then it will shrink, if it is greater than one then the image will stretch (be larger). In this case, the scale factor is 2, therefore the image will stretch. Since the center of dilation is the origin, to find the new coordinates simply multiply each x and y value by the scale factor. So A's original coordinates (-2,5) become (-4,10) and so forth. Therefore the equation for this dilation is (x, y) → (2x,2y).
