The rectangle they give you is 12 units tall. This is the result of scaling by a factor of 1.5, ie it is 1.5 times taller than what the answer will be. Let the answer rectangle have a height of h. This means h*1.5 = 12, or 1.5h = 12
Divide both sides by 1.5 to find that h = 8. The answer rectangle's height is 8 units.
The width's will be treated in a similar manner. I picked on the height since it's easier to see that the height lines up with 12 (the width seems to be between 2 and 4, but its not clear if its at the midpoint).
Answer:
Answer is D, all you do is add the numbers
Answer:
8 pounds of apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 pies need 2 pounds of apples.
so 1 pie needs 2/5 pounds
- and 20 pies needs 20 * 2/5
= 40/5
= 8 pounds of apples.
So there are 128 ounces in a gallon.
So half a gallon would have 64 ounces
Now it says Shari has 1 1/2 which means we would add 128 ounces and 64 ounces together to get 192 ounces.
1 1/2 gallons = 192 ounces
Now we take the 192 ounces and divide it into 12 because she has 12 friends to share with.
192/12 = 16 ounces
Each friend with get 16 ounces of orange juice.
