What is 50 percent of 62?
2 answers:
Generally you would need to do a proportion but there is a shorter way to do just the specific question. If you would like to know how to do the proportion version let me know
Since it asks for 50% of 62 it means that it's looking for half of 62, so all you have to do is divide 62 by 2 which is...
62/2 = 31
31 is 50% of 62

Answer:
12 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the design, ABCD, was dilated to get a photocopy, EFGH, a scale factor or ratio was multiplied by the original lengths of the design to get the new measurement of the photocopy.
Thus, we are given the ratio, CD:GH = 2:3.
This means, any of the corresponding lengths of both figures would be in that same ratio.
Using the ratio of the design to the photocopy, 2:3, we can find the length of side EH of the photocopy.
The corresponding side of EH in the design is AD = 8m. Thus, AD to EH = ⅔
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 2 to make EH the subject of formula
The length of side EH = 12 m
