Answer:

A 2:1

B 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 24 students and 8 are girls, then 24 - 8 tells you how many are boys.

24 - 8 = 16.

There are 16 boys.

If there is 16 boys and 8 girls, the ratio would be 2 : 1 or 2/1 or 2 because 16 and 8 have a common factor of 8, so both sides can be divided by 8.

Hence the 8 : 2.

Ratios are commonly expressed with a colon, so that is going to be the symbol I'm using to differenciate the numbers.

We can just reverse the ratio since the original was boys to girls, but it is now girls to boys.

1:2

Cindy has 26 nickels. She is getting rolls of nickels from the bank. She has enough money to get up to 10 rolls of nickels and e

Alchen [17]

We know that the domain is actually the number of rolls that she gets because it is the input variable in the equation f (r) = 40 r + 26. The number of rolls that she can get can never be a negative number nor a zero nor a decimal number. However she can only get up to 10 rolls. Therefore the answer is:

all integers from 1 to 10, inclusive

Pedro puts $400.00 into an account to use for school expenses. The account earns 4% interest, compounded annually. How much will

Nastasia [14]

After 5 years the amount in the account will be $ 487.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Compound Interest, A = $P ( 1 + \frac{r}{n})^ {nt}$

Where A denotes the investment's future value

P is the Principal amount = $ 400.00

r is the rate of interest annually in decimals = 0.04

n is the no. of times the interest is compounded per unit time, t = 1

t - the number of years or days or months the amount is invested = 5 years

Now we have to plug in those values in the above formula as,

A = $400 ( 1 + \frac{0.04}{1})^ {1\times 5}$

= 400(1+ 0.04)⁵

= 400(1.04)⁵

= 486.66 ≈ $ 487

A transformation of rectangle LMNO results in rectangle L'M'N'O'.

Helen [10]

Answer:

As you can see Rectangle L M NO and Rectangle L'M'N'O' are such that

1. Size of Rectangle L M NO > Size of Rectangle L'M'N'O'

2. Sides of, means length and breadth of Rectangle L M N O is not in proportion to Rectangle L'M'N'O'. i.e

$\frac{LM}{L'M'}=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{3}{2} \\\\\frac{LO}{L'O'}= \frac{4}{4}=1$

3. Out of four possibilities given :

, Reflection and Rotation is not possible because in all the three cases Pre-image and image are not congruent or similar.

As in,Rectangle LMNO →when length and breadth get reduced by scale of 2 and 0 and Dilation by scale factor of< 1 we get Rectangle L'M'N'O'.Centre of dilation may be other than origin.

So, Stretching of preimage i.e Rectangle L M NO→ means Shrinking has taken place to get image Rectangle L'M'N'O'.As shrinking is not an option.

So, Dilation by a factor less than 1, center of dilation other than origin has taken place.
