To find the scaled version of this rectangle by 1/2, start by identifying what this scale factor does to effect the numbers.

In this case, it causes each to divide by two.
Divide each value on the length and width of the rectangle by two.
This results in:
4/2
8/2

Now, perform the division to find your final answer.
This gives you 2 ft by 4 ft.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38
