A: first know what’s half of 172,73 and then that’s how much cubes she used
Answer:
8 hours 10 minutes
I hope this answers your question
If you had an equation such as 50%x=20, I would convert the percent to a decimal first. So, 0.50x=20. Then I would change the decimal into a simplified fraction. In this case it is 1/2. So, 1/2x=20. Then I would reciprocate the fraction and multiply that by 20. So x=20*2/1. From this, we would get x=40/1, but the 1 is not necessary, so we can write the final answer as x=40.
Answer: The correct options are (A) 8 and (D) 7.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct scale factors that produces an expansion under a dilation of the original image.
The SCALE FACTOR of a dilation is defined as follows:

The dilation will be an expansion is the scale factor is greater than 1 (> 1),
and it will be a reduction if the scale factor is less than 1 (< 1).
Option (A) is
Scale factor = 8.
Since 8 > 1, so the scale factor of the dilation is greater than 1. This implies that the dilation is an expansion.
Option (B) is
Scale factor = 0.7.
Since 0.7 < 1, so the scale factor of the dilation is less than 1. This implies that the dilation is a reduction.
Option (C) is
Scale factor = 0.8.
Since 0.8 < 1, so the scale factor of the dilation is less than 1. This implies that the dilation is a reduction.
Option (D) is
Scale factor = 7.
Since 8 > 1, so the scale factor of the dilation is greater than 1. This implies that the dilation is an expansion.
Thus, the correct options are (A) 8 and (D) 7.
Answer: Choice B. (-2)^9
The rule used here is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). We add the exponents and keep the base the same.
