Answer:

Hanan collect \frac{3}{8} of a bag of clothes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> amount of clothing bag that Jenny collected

y ------> amount of clothing bag that Hanan collected

we know that

y=\frac{1}{2}x -----> equation A

x=\frac{3}{4} -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

y=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{4})

y=\frac{3}{8}

therefore

Hanan collect \frac{3}{8} of a bag of clothes

1. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2,4) , (3,-1) ,(-1,0), (1,2) and (-3,-5) lie? Verify your answer b
pashok25 [27]

Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the signs of the coordinates in each quadrant

  • x and y coordinates are positive in the 1st quadrant
  • x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive in the 2nd quadrant
  • x and y coordinates are negative in the 3rd quadrant
  • x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative in the 4th quadrant
  • The general point on the positive part of x-axis is (x , 0), and on the negative part of x-axis is (-x , 0)
  • The general point on the positive part of y-axis is (0 , y), and on the negative part of y-axis is (0 , -y)

Now let us check the points

Point (-2 , 4) ⇒ red point

∵ x = -2 and y = 4

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive

∴ Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) ⇒ blue point

∵ x = 3 and y = -1

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) ⇒ green point

∵ x = -1 and y = 0

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is zero

∴ Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) ⇒ purple point

∵ x = 1 and y =2

∵ x and y coordinates are positive

∴ Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) ⇒ black point

∵ x = -3 and y = -5

∵ x and y coordinates are negative

∴ Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The shape is the same

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation, that change the size but not the shape of the original  figure

so

If the dilation scale factor is 4, the figure size increases by 4, but the shape remains the same
