Given:
Total width = 24 inches
Wanted width = 2 1/2 inches = 2.5 inches
Now,

To find how many stripes of wood with this width can be made, we need to divide the total width by the wanted width.

So,
24/2.5 = 9.6

So,
Since, .6 is not a full stripe of wood, we only loook at the whole number.

So,
9 stripes of wood can be cut with that width.

Answer:

1080

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, if he is paying 50 per month, we need to know the number of months it would take him to finish paying the money. Hence that would be 800/50 = 16 months

Now we know there is a surcharge of 17.5 for each month he owes a balance. The total balance he is to pay is thus 16 * 17.5 = 280

The total cost of the jacket is thus 800 + 280 = 1080

Line segment AB is dilated to create line segment A'B' using point Q as the center of dilation.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale of dilation, you have to compare the ratio of the after transform with before transform according to the center of dilation. In this case, the center of dilation is Q so you have to compare QA' : QA. We know that QA= 1.25 and AA' is 1.25. The distance of QA' will be:

QA'= QA + AA'= 1.25 + 1.25 = 2.5

The scale factor will be:

scale factor= QA' : QA.= 2.5 : 1.25

scale factor= 2
