Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
Answer:
2^3 or 8
Step-by-step explanation:

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom.
You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable. You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation. If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2. If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.
10)
-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6
STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24
STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2
-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out
-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3
y= -5
STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x
x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6
x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides
x= -21
ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

12)
-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19
STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x
-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57
STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x
-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out
19x= 38
divide both sides by 19
x= 2
STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation
-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19
-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides
y= -5
ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

Step 1: All angles in a triangle must add up to 180! Therefore, in the upper triangle, add up the two you know 85+35=120 so the missing angle is 60.
Step 2: Bottom triangle. Your new angle above (60) is the pair of the opposite angle - so it too is 60. So now you know 2 of the 3 angles: 60+64=124 Subtract that from 180 and you get 56...which is the answer for ?
