Answer:

hope like it

Step-by-step explanation:

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. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor for volume of one half. The basic equation for it is image over preimage.

In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale.

anthony bought an 8 foot board.He cut off 3/4 of the board to build a shelf,and gave 1/3 of the rest to his brother for an art p
e-lub [12.9K]
Convert your feet to inches.
So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches
if you have 3/4 of the board used. 
3/4= .75 
if you were to times 96 by .75 = 72 inches.
So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left

now do 1/3= .33
times .33 by 24= 8
8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.

What is the probability that it is not blue?
Alisiya [41]
1/3 chances the bubblegum is blue. To solve this problem you add all of the bubblegum together so 25+20+15 to get 60 then express it as a fraction to show only the blue pieces which would be 20/60 and you can simplify it to 1/3 or 33.33%

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of car P = $27,500

Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15

Final amount A = $1,254

Find:

Time taken n

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ

0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)
