Suppose you have two similar figures , one larger than the other. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure

Well...

generally to find scale factor you need to find how much larger or smaller the new image compared to the original. If it is larger it is represented as a ratio (example 1:2), if it is smaller it is represented as a fraction (example 1/2).

An example of finding scale factor would be a square with all the side lengths being 4cm (as the original) and the new square having all side lengths of 8 cm.

The scale factor would be 1 : 2 because the new image is 2 times the size of the original.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(X+4)1999=1

Open the bracket by multiplying 1999 by the values in the bracket

1999x + 7996 = 1

Collect like terms

1999x = 1-7996

1999x = -7995

Divide both sides by 1999

X = -3.99

The owner of a new pet store wishes to display tropical fish in display tanks. The above table shows the species that cannot liv
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The minimum number of different tanks needed to safely house all the fish is:

  • <u>3 tanks</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the minimum number of different tanks, we're gonna concentrate in a fish species, in this case can be the A: as you see in the table, the A species can live with all the fish excepting the F and G, by their side, the F and G can't live together , by this reason, this three species must live in a different tank, in the next form:

  • Tank 1: <em>A</em>
  • Tank 2: <em>F</em>
  • Tank 3: <em>G</em>

Now the B species, it can live with A, F and G, but for this example we can put in the tank 1 (the tank of the A species). The C especies can live with A, F and G, but how we have A and B together, we're gonna put the C especies in the tank 3 (the tank of the G especies). The D species can live with A and G, we're gonna put in the tank 1 because can live with B species too. The E species can live with A and F, we're gonna put in the tank 2 (the tank of the F species) because the E species can't live with D that is in the in the tank 1. Al last, the H species just can live with A, E, F, and H species, by this reason, the only tank that can be put is the tank 2. In this form, the order is the next:

  • Tank 1: <em>A, B, D</em>.
  • Tank 2: <em>F, E, H</em>.
  • Tank 3: <em>G, C</em>.

And t<u>he owner of the pet store must buy three different tanks to display these tropical fish</u>.

When there is no outlier is thebetter measure of center for a set of data
tester [92]

Answer:

Median

Explanation:

The median is the middle number. This answer fits best with the question asked.

The mode is the number that occurs the most. This number doesn't really have a correlation to the middle of this data.

The range is just how many numbers the data spans across. It has no relation to the middle of the data.
