Answer: A dilation with rule: 
Explanation:
A dilation is a non-rigid transformation that creates an image that is the same shape as the original but has a different size.
It uses a scale factor k such that

(x,y)= coordinates of original figure
(kx,ky) = corresponding coordinate in the image.
To transform: A (3,-4) onto point A' (1.5,-2).
Using scale factor k=
, we have

Required rule: 
O2 is the limiting reactant
Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
Because they believed that heavenly bodies’ circular motions where caused by their being attached to unseen resolving solid spheres
