Answer:

When adding two fractions with a common denominator, you do NOT add the denominators together. Therefore, we can say $\frac{1}{6}$ + $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{4}{6}$ and not $\frac{4}{12}$ .

Hope this helps and stay safe and healthy in quarantine!

Question:

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}$

The scale factor is equal to

$z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{8}$

simplify

$z=\frac{1}{2}$

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2$

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2$

ratio of the areas (small to large)

$ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}$

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 19.3% and weighs 187 pounds. How many pounds of her weight is made up of

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an individual has a body fat percentage of 19.3% and weighs 187 pounds, to determine how many pounds of her weight is made up of fat the following calculation must be performed:

(187 x 19.3) / 100 = X

3.609.1 / 100 = X

36.091 = X

Therefore, the individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.

3c+6=18 how do you work this problem?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + 6 = 18

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3c = 18

Solving

6 + 3c = 18

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 3c = 18 + -6

3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

3c = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

c = 4

Simplifying

c = 4

Why might a mattress store choose to advertise new mattresses, worth $1,000, as $50 per week for 22 weeks?

IgorLugansk [536]

By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.
