$\frac{14}{28}$ is our fraction, which is not in lowest form, and therefore can be reduced. We can divide both numerator and denominator by 2, and we end up with

$\frac{7}{14}$

7 goes into 14 twice, so we can reduce it further to become

$\frac{1}{2}$

To convert a fraction to a ratio, you just need to turn it on its side and make the | into a : So it would look like this:

1:2

1 / 2 = 0.5

0.5 is the fraction in decimal form

To find a percentage, you just need to multiply the decimal by 100.

0.5 in percentage form would be 50%

Hope that helped =)

The coordinates of trapezoid ABCD are A(−4, 3), B(2, 3), C(4, −1) and D(−4, −1). A line segment runs through the trapezoid with

madam [21]

The distance from point Y to the y-axis is 4 units and the distance from point Z to the y-axis is 3 units, then the lelgth of the segment YZ is 4+3=7 units.
If a scale factor is 3, then the length of Y'Z' will be 7·3=21 units.

P.S. In the added picture you can see trapezoid ABCD that was dilated by a scale factor 3 about the origin. This may help to understand that all linear values after dilation become multiplied by scale factor.
