Would the scale factor 4.2 enlarge,reduce,or preserve

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at what scale factors would be able to enlarge, reduce, and preserve first. We will use the point (1,1) as an example.

ENLARGE

When we talk about scale factors, both of our numbers of the ordered pair will be multiplied by that number. To make it bigger, we will multiply it by anything larger than a one, we could have a scale factor such as 2, 100, 579395. etc.!

Dilation of 2

(1,1)⇒(2,2)

REDUCE

To reduce our ordered pair, our scale factor must be a number greater than zero but less than one because it cannot switch quadrants, which is what would happen if we used negative numbers. Our reduced number must be greater than zero. We can use 1/2, 1/4, 1/100, 0.67 etc.

Dilation of 1/2

(1,1)⇒(0.5,0.5)

PRESERVE

What would we multiply an ordered pair by to make it stay the same? One of course! This is the only number that will keep it the same!

Dilation of 1

(1,1)⇒(1,1)

Now, let's think of any scale factor as X and see what rules it has to follow to be enlarging, reducing, or preserving.

ENLARGING SCALE FACTOR: X>1

REDUCING SCALE FACTOR: 0<X<1

PRESERVING SCALE FACTOR: X=1

So, where does 4.2 fall? Well, as you can see, 4.2 is greater than one, so this scale factor would make our point larger.

Therefore, 4.2 would enlarge.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

_

66,6% = ⅔

_

33,3% = ⅓

85% = 17⁄20

80% = ⅘

75% = ¾

90% = 9⁄10

20% = ⅕

10% = ⅒

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from a fraction to a percentage, divide both the denominator and numerator to get a decimal point, then move the decimal point twice to the right, then attach the percentage symbol:

⅒ = 0,1 = 10%

⤻⤻

⅕ = 0,2 = 20%

⤻⤻

9⁄10 = 0,9 = 90%

⤻⤻

¾ = 0,75 = 75%

⤻⤻

⅘ = 0,8 = 80%

⤻⤻

17⁄20 = 0,85 = 85%

⤻⤻

_ _

⅓ = 0,3 = 33,3%

⤻⤻

_ _

⅔ = 0,6 = 66,6

All those bars above those digits are what are known as bar notation, indicating that digits repeat.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Rational number 7/3 has terminating decimal
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug "7/3" in your calculator and round to the nearest hundredth (by finding the hundredth's place, looking at the digit before it, and moving the hundredth's place up one value if you deciphering that the digit before is greater/equal to 5). If you need a terminating decimal, you need to round. If you don't need it as a terminating decimal, add a ling over the last digit where the decimal begins to repeat.
