A scale factor is usually a decimal which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x.

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's from a big square to a smaller square, the smaller number will be at the top. Also, use the same side to find the scale factor, but since this is a square and all sides of a square are equal, it doesn't matter but in other shapes it does so practice i guess:

Left side of big square: 5

Left side of small square: 2

So scale is 2/5

To confirm:

5 · 2/5 = 10/5 = 2, we're right

Macs farm has a total of 18 horses and 27 cows. what is the ratio of horses to cows in simplest form?

Evgesh-ka [11]

The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.

Ratio = 18/27

When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,

Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: 2/3

prisoha [69]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{2}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The product of the number and its reciprocal gives us 1.}\\\text{Reciprocal of }\ \dfrac{5}{2}\ \text{is equal}\ \dfrac{2}{5}.\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}\times\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}\times\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{1}{1}\times\dfrac{1}{1}=1\times1=1$

Haley makes earrings and packages them into cube boxes that measure 1/6 foot wide. How many 1/6 foot cubic boxes can she fit int

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: 28 cube boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found with this formula:

$V_{(c)}=s^3$

Where "s" is the lenght of any edge of the cube.

You need to find the volume of a cube box:

$V_1=s^3=(\frac{1}{6}ft)^3=\frac{1}{216}ft^3$

To find the volume of the shipping box, first we must convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. To do it, multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and add this product to the numerator.

The denominator does not change.

Then:

$1\ \frac{1}{6}=\frac{(1*6)+1}{6}=\frac{7}{6}$

Knowing the dimensions of the shipping box, you can calculate its volume by multiplying its dimensions. Then, this is:

$V_2=(\frac{7}{6}\ ft)(\frac{1}{3}\ ft)(\frac{1}{3}\ ft)=\frac{7}{54}\ ft^3$

Finally, in order to find the number of cube boxes can Haley fits into a shipping box, you must divide the the volume of the shipping box by the volume of one cube:

$\frac{\frac{7}{54}ft^3}{\frac{1}{216}ft^3}=28$
