Answer:

Number of tadpoles Chris has = 3

Number of tadpoles David has = 6

Number of tadpoles George has = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total number of tadpoles divided among 3 friends = 21

Number of tadpoles Mark gave to Chris = A  

Number of tadpoles Mark gave to David = B = 2A

Number of tadpoles Mark gave to George = C = 2B = 2(2A) = 4A

∴ Total number of tadpoles = A + B + C

⇒ 21 = A + 2A + 4A

⇒ 21 = 7A

⇒ A = 21 ÷ 7 = 3

∴ Number of tadpoles Chris has = A = 3

Number of tadpoles David has = B = 2A = 2(3) = 6

Number of tadpoles George has = C = 2B = 2(2A) = 4A = 4(3) = 12

Answer:

The point at (-7, -5) = a

The point at (9, 3) = b

The point at (-3, 7) = c

The "a" point of the triangle is 12 units away from the center point.

So, 12 x 1/4

=> 12/4

=> 3

So, the "a" point of the dilated figure is  3 units left from the center.

=> So, the dilated "a" point is at (2, -5)

The "b" point is 8/4 (= rise/run = y-axis / x-axis) from the center point.

=> 8/4 = 2

So, the "b" point of the dilated figure is 1 unit right and 2 units up from the center point.

=> So, the dilated "b" point is at (6, -3)

The "c" point is 12/8 units away from the center point.

=> 12/8 x 1/4

=> 3/2

So, the "c" point of the dilated figure is 3 units up and 2 units left from the center point.

=> So, the dilated "c" point is at (3, -2)
