K - scale factor
a = 8 1/2
b = 11
a₁ = 1 7/10
b₁ = 2 1/5

$k = \frac{a_1}{a}=\frac{b_1}b\\\\\\\frac{a_1}{a}=\dfrac{1 \frac{7}{10}}{8\frac12}=1 \frac{7}{10}:8\frac12=\frac{17}{10}:\frac{17}2=\frac{17}{10}\cdot\frac2{17}=\frac15\cdot\frac11=\frac15\\\\\\\frac{b_1}{b}=\dfrac{2 \frac{1}{5}}{11}=2\frac15:11=\frac{11}{5}\cdot\frac1{11}=\frac15\cdot\frac11=\frac15 \\\\\\\frac{a_1}{a}=\frac{b_1}b=\frac15\ \ \ \implies\ \ \ k=\frac15$

What is 5/6 times 4.

atroni [7]

Take 5/6 x 4/1 and multiply 5x4 and 6x1 to get 20/6. 6 goes into 20 3 times, with 2/6 leftover. Reduce 2/6 to 1/3 and your final answer is 3 1/3.

How do you solve 2(x+7)+x=20

alexira [117]

2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20 Distribute
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20 Combine Like Terms
3x+14=20
- 14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 6/3 Divide Both Sides by 3

x = 2
