no. he isn't correct because the scale factor is an improper fraction. 2/5 means you have 2 out of 5, but if you have 8 out of 3, that means you have 2 3s and 2 more leftover. it wouldn't be a reduction, it'd be increasing!
I'm in middle school but I don't even know what is thatttttt????
Answer:
x = 14 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4.

Square both sides.



Since we squared both sides, we much check for extraneous solutions because the process of squaring both sides can introduce extraneous solutions.
Check x = 14:





16 = -16 is a false statement, so the solution we found, x = 14, is an extraneous solution.
1 yards = 36 inches
3 × 36 = 108
1 foot = 12 inches
108 + 12 =120
So 3 yards and 1 foot is equal
to 120 inches
120 is greater than 100 so 3 yards and 1 foot is greater than 100 inches
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
So if 1= 4, 2=8, 4=16, 5=20.... it's going up by 4s so muffins per cup of flower is 1/4... I think.
