Answer:

<u>475 runners</u> competed in the Labor Day race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last year, 60% of runners who competed in the Labor Day race finished in 1 hour or less. There were 285 runners who finished the Labor Day race in 1 hour or less.

Now, to find the runners competed in the Labor Day race.

Let the runners competed in the Labor Day race be x.

Rate of runners who competed in the Labor Day race finished in 1 hour or less = 60%.

Number of runners who competed in the Labor Day race finished in 1 hour or less = 285.

Now, to get the runners competed in the Labor Day race we put an equation:

60\%\ of\ x=285

\frac{60}{100} \times x=285

0.60x=285

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.60 we get:</em>

x=475.

Therefore, 475 runners competed in the Labor Day race.

Ughh i suck at dilation

Look at!!:
Pre image  A(3,4), B(1,5) C(6,6);
If you multiply these coordinates by 3/2, you get its images:

A(3,4)              ⇒ A`(3*3/2, 4*3/2)=(4.5, 6)
B(1,5)              ⇒B`(1.*3/2,  5*3/2)=(1.5, 7.5)
C(6,6)              ⇒C`(6*3/2, 6*3/2)=(9,9)

Therefore the scale factor is 3/2. 
When the scale factor of a dilation is >1, then we have an enlargement, an expansion.
In this case 3/2=1.5>1

Answer: 

The dilation is expansion.
The scale factor is 3/2.
