Answer:

Jada and lin are comparing inches and feet.

Let I denote inches and F denote feet.

It is given that

I =k F or F=m I

So, I/F=k or m=F/I

As we know 1 feet = 12 inches

constant of proportionality i.e k=1/12

In case 2, constant of proportionality=12/1=12

So, Jada must have calculated ratio of feet to inches while Lin has calculated the ratio of inches to feet.

What are the factors of expression (y-3)(x+7)

torisob [31]

That is easy!! :)
y=3 and x=-7

When you find the factors of something like this, you have to just get the letter alone.

For example: y-3. You have to first write it as y-3=0, then you add 3 from BOTH sides of the = so that you can make the -3 go away and y will be alone. So, it will look like this: y-3+3=0+3. Then, you solve it for y (which just means that you want y by itself on one side of the = ). So, -3+3=0, which means they disappear from that side; since 0+3=3, that's what that side turns into, so what you end up with is y=3

Same thing goes for the x+7 equation:
x+7=0
x+7-7=0-7
x=-7

The perimeter of a semicircle is 5.14 feet. What is the semicircle’s area?

hammer [34]

$\bf \textit{circumference of a semi-circle}\\\\
C=\pi r\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
C=5.14
\end{cases}\implies 5.14=\pi r\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5.14}{\pi }=r}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{area of a semi-circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{\pi r^2}{2} \implies A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}r^2\implies A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\left( \boxed{\cfrac{5.14}{\pi }} \right)^2
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies \cfrac{5.14^2}{\pi ^2}\implies A=\cfrac{26.4196}{2\pi }\implies A=\cfrac{13.2098}{\pi }$
