Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.

The polygons below are similar. Find the scale factor of the SMALLER figure to the LARGER.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

A. 5:6

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger = the ratio of a side of the smaller figure to the corresponding side of the larger figure.

Thus, side length of 25 units of the smaller figure corresponds to the side length of 30 units.

Therefore:

Scale factor = 25:30

Simplify

Scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger = 5:6
