Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of males to females in a cycling club is 5:3.

1/3 of the males are under 18

2/9 of the females are under 18

The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is calculated as:

Male: Female = Male/Female

We are told in the above question:

1/3 of the males are under 18

2/9 of the females are under 18

Hence:

1/3 / 2/9

= 1/3 ÷ 2/9

= 1/3 × 9/2

= 3/2

The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is 3/2

under a dilation, the point (2,6) is moved to (6,18) what is the scale factor of the dilation? enter your answer in the box

Anestetic [448]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passing through the two points is $\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1} }=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

When substituted,the equation becomes $\frac{y-6}{x-2}=\frac{18-6}{6-2}$

which when simplified is $y=3\times x$

The line clearly passes through origin.

The distance between two points is $\sqrt{(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2}+(x_{1}- x_{2} )^{2}}$

Distance between origin and $(2,6)$ is $\sqrt{40}$ .

Distance between origin and $(6,18)$ is $\sqrt{360}$

Scale factor is $\frac{distance\text{ }of\text{ }p_{2}\text{ from origin}}{distance \text{ } of \text{ } p_{1}\text{ from origin}}$

So,scale factor is $\frac{\sqrt{360} }{\sqrt{40} }$

which when simplified becomes 3.
