Answer:

0.106 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The height of human is between 5 feet and 6 feet,

So, the average height of a human = \frac{5+6}{2}

=\frac{11}{2}

= 5.5 feet,

∵ 1 feet = 12 inches,

Thus, the average height of a human = 12 × 5.5 = 66 inches

Now,

\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{\text{Actual measure}}

We have,

Scaled measure of the height of a human = 7 inches,

Thus,

\text{Scale factor}=\frac{7}{66}\approx 0.106

A recipe calls for 15 oz of flour for every 8 oz of milk .is the relationship between ounces of four and ounces of milk proporti
pantera1 [17]
Yes, they are proportional because if you increase or decrease either amount they will both change. They will always have the same size. For example if I want to double the flour, I will have to double the milk as well because they have the same ratio.

Which one of the quotients is correct? A) 876 ÷ 43 = 20r17B) 876 ÷ 43 = 20r16C) 876 ÷ 43 = 20r7D) 876 ÷ 43 = 20r6
Olegator [25]

To check which of the quotients is correct, multiply 43 times 20 and add the remainder. The result must be equal to 876.

First, notice that 20 times 43 equals 860.

A)

The remainder is 17. 860 + 17 = 877, which is not equal to 876.

B)

The remainder is 16. 860 + 16 = 876, which is equal to 876.

C)

The remander is 7. 860 + 7 = 867, which is not equal to 876.

D)

The remainder is 6. 860 + 6 = 866, which is not equal to 876.

Since 20*43 + 16 = 876, then the correct quotient is shown in option B:

876 ÷ 43 = 20 r 16
